How to Make Mutabbak
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Gently unfold one sheet of phyllo dough and cut into a 6x6 inch square. (Adjust size as needed). Brush lightly with melted butter.
- Place 2-3 more small pieces of phyllo dough in the center of the square to reinforce the filling.
- In a small bowl, gently combine the feta cheese (or your preferred baking cheese), sugar, and orange blossom water.
- Place the cheese mixture in the center of the phyllo square.
- Fold all four corners of the phyllo dough over the cheese filling to form a smaller square, then fold the corners toward the center again to create a neat package.
- Carefully turn the pastry over, making sure the corners of the phyllo dough are tucked in to prevent cheese from spilling out.
- Place the Mutabbak on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top lightly with melted butter.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle 2 tablespoons of cold rose or orange blossom water over each Mutabbak.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve warm. Enjoy!
