This is a wonderful, decadent dessert/breakfast. I do believe the butter could be cut a bit. The top (bottom in the pan) did not get as crispy as I would have liked. I made this with a combo of Ackawi and mozzarella. I also had to use Malt O Meal instead of Cream of Wheat (which was fine).

I liked working with this dough - slightly sticky but not a mess. I liked the filling recipe (mostly spinach and onion) as it seemed similar to my own family's recipe. I liked the easy to follow instructions. And I definitely liked the beautiful pictures of the fatayar on Maureen's website. However, the crust of my final product was too puffy - my "ridge" (formed when pinching the dough together) completely disappeared and lost all definition. No big deal as long as it tastes wonderful right? Well, they were good but not great. Flavors were off, especially in the filling, so I added another 1/2 lemon and some sumac, as well as a dose of olive oil. Much better. Also the flavor improves as it sits, so next time I will be sure to make ahead.

The tomatoes really make this bowl of beans anything but ordinary! So good! I used dried cannellini beans cooked with fresh sage, rosemary, oregano, garlic and a good dose of olive oil.
