What is Afyon Cheese Pastry?

In Afyon and elsewhere in Turkey, it is often served warm for breakfast, with tea, or as a filling snack. The pastry makes it energy-dense, with carbohydrates and fat alongside some protein from the cheese. Pair it with fresh tomatoes, greens or a simple salad for a more balanced plate.
