Pastizzi is a popular Maltese snack consisting of flaky pastry filled with either ricotta cheese or mushy peas. These savory pastries are a staple in Malta and can be found in almost every bakery or snack bar. The pastry is made from layers of thin dough that are folded and baked until golden and crispy. The ricotta-filled pastizzi are creamy and slightly sweet, while the pea-filled ones have a more earthy and savory flavor. Pastizzi are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven and are a must-try when visiting Malta.
