Imagine warm, soft, melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese. Imagine warm, soft, melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese baked in a sugary frosted Mini-Wheat shell... with pistachios on top. Ladies and gents, I give you the kunefe.

If only I had known how beautiful that cheese was going to look when Hakan cut the first slice, I never would have put the camera down. I'm sorry for delivering you a second-tier photo of an absolutely scrumptious Turkish dessert.

And just for the record, what I so eloquently described as a Frosted Mini-Wheat shell is actually finely shredded phyllo dough. Yum.
