🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Spinach supports children's immunity with its iron and vitamin content. Lor cheese contributes to bone development with its calcium. The combination of phyllo and cheese is ideal for little hands to grasp and eat, helping develop fine motor skills.
Maiyko's note
No salt has been added to this recipe; the natural saltiness of lor cheese is sufficient. Baking makes it lighter and healthier than frying. Suitable for children ages 2 and up.
