This was so delightful! Baked beautifully golden brown and crispy with oozing stretchy cheese inside. I have seen that famous Turkish chef on Instagram making a huge version of this so I was extremely excited to try it! They're supposed to make this thin vermicelli noodles (like seviyan in Indian cuisine) from scratch and from them into this patty while filling it with this curd like Turkish cheese. It's then baked til golden brown and til the cheese melts wonderfully. According to the instagrammer chef, Burak Ozdemir, sugar syrup (with saffron) is poured over this baked dish which turns it into dessert. The dish I bought however has sweetened milk surrounding it so this restaurant probably used condensed milk or just sweetened milk. This additional dairy made it pretty rich so it's a must to share this. Definitely good for 4 people as I was struggling after finishing 1 piece. It was a great experience and I'm definitely getting it again! $10 for this whole thing. It's pretty worth it if you think about it since you can share with 4 people.
