Feteer meshaltet (Egyptian Arabic: فطير مشلتت, literally "cushioned pies" or "cushion-like pies"), often simply referred to as feteer (فطير), is a flaky Egyptian layered pastry. It consists of many thin layers of dough and ghee and an optional filling. The fillings can be both sweet or savory. Sweet fillings may include cheese, coconut, mehalabiya, malban, nutella or chocolate, while savory fillings can be anything from ground beef to sausage or cheese. Plain feteer is usually soaked in honey and spread with jam or cheese or served with olives. Because of its versatility, feteer is often referred to as an Egyptian pizza.[1][2]

Feteer meshaltet (Árabe Egipcio: فطير مشلتت, literalmente "tartas con cojines" o "tartas con forma de cojín"), a menudo simplemente llamado feteer (فطير), es una hojaldre en capas egipcia. Se compone de muchas capas finas de masa y ghee y un relleno opcional. Los rellenos pueden ser dulces o salados. Los rellenos dulces pueden incluir queso, coco, mehalabiya, malban, nutella o chocolate, mientras que los rellenos salados pueden ser desde carne molida hasta salchicha o queso. Por lo general, el feteer simple se empapa en miel y se esparce con mermelada o queso o se sirve con aceitunas. Debido a su versatilidad, el feteer a menudo se conoce como una pizza egipcia.
