Knafeh — Middle Eastern recipe
Knafeh, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Knafeh

Shredded phyllo tossed in melted butter, packed around a layer of cheese and baked hard until the outside is deep gold and crisp while the inside melts. Cool syrup goes over it the moment it leaves the oven, and it is cut and eaten immediately, while the cheese still pulls.
