Ingredients

• 4 slices White Bread
• about 113 g Akawi Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar Syrup

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Place a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat (162.8°C / 163°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt.
2. 2While the butter melts, spread the melted butter evenly on both sides of each of the 4 slices of white bread.
3. 3Place 2 slices of the buttered bread into the heated skillet. Sprinkle half of the about 113 g of Akawi cheese, shredded, over the 2 slices of bread in the skillet.
4. 4Place the remaining 2 slices of buttered bread on top of the cheese. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the bottom slices are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
5. 5Carefully flip the Knafeh toast over using a spatula. Cook the other side for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
6. 6Remove the Knafeh toast from the skillet. Immediately drizzle the 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water over the top.
7. 7Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of sugar syrup over the Knafeh toast and serve right away.
