Simply put, fatayer is pizza-like dough, rolled crispy thin or fluffy thick, and stuffed with filling; herbed cheese in this case. Various adaptations of these savory hand pies can be found throughout the Levant, the South Caucasus, Southeast Europe (The Balkans), North Africa, Anatolia and surrounding regions.

Usually served during breakfast, they are equally great to snack on throughout the day or devour with a cup of tea at an afternoon tea gathering; not to mention the perfect party food ~ no forks or knives needed.

I’m happy to introduce the EVERYDAY FOOD series; quick and easy home-cooked meals your family can enjoy every day. Simply look for blog posts tagged with weeknight cooking, pantry quick fix, no recipe recipes or quick & easy recipe. No recipe recipes are dishes that come with how-to instructions and ingredients but no specific measurements; easy recipes that are prepared as you go along and items adjusted to your liking.

The sweet taste of victory at your table!

We covered game day snacks, dips and starters in part one of this series and main dishes in part two. This is the third and last part of the Big Game Bash series, and we are now moving on to Super Bowl desserts and sweet football treats.
