Of course – sweet cheese puff pastry

Mutabbaq

Ce dessert est pour moi un grand souvenir. Lors de mon premier voyage en Israel en solo, j’ai découvert cette pâtisserie au hasard à l’université, un matin avec mon caféet là surprise du fromage ! J’ai tout de suite adoré l’idée d’un feuilleté sucré au fromage et je n’ai pourtant jamais pensé à refaire cette recette avant aujourd’hui. Alors nostalgie, nostalgieet merci à Yotam Ottolenghi pour sa recette dénichée dans le livre Jérusalem !

I can therefore only encourage you to test the mutabbaq, because it is really a discovery to be made ! However, it's really better the same day, so share with those you love.

    C’est très joli oui…mais petite question, pourquoi la moitié des ingrédients sont en anglais et l’autre en français?;) Enfin, ce qui parlent français peuvent peut-être bien lire la suite, mais ceux qui parlent anglais doivent être un peu moins nombreux à le lire? Bref, ce gateaux à l’air trop bon. Miam miam.

      Thank you Christine.
      The recipe is good in French, maybe you had a little bug on your computer… ??
