About Saj jibneh
Saj Jibneh is a traditional Middle Eastern flatbread sandwich filled with melted cheese and often enjoyed as a quick snack or breakfast item. Originating from Levantine cuisine, it is prepared using a thin, soft saj bread, which is cooked on a convex metal griddle. The cheese inside varies by region but typically includes salty and creamy varieties like Akkawi or Nabulsi, known for their mild flavor and high meltability. While Saj Jibneh provides energy due to its carbohydrate-rich bread and calcium from the cheese, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on the type of cheese used. To make it more balanced, incorporating fresh vegetables or opting for reduced-fat cheese can improve its nutritional profile. Popular for its simplicity and comforting flavors, Saj Jibneh is a savory testament to the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East.
