Fatayer is the perfect, crowd-thrilling party food. They are easy-to-pick-up finger foods that are filled with meat, or cheese, or spinach. Fatayer takes different shapes based on the type of filling. The convention is to make meat fatayer into square shapes, cheese fatayer into boat shapes, and spinach fatayer into triangular ones.
