Pastizzi is a popular Maltese snack consisting of flaky pastry filled with either ricotta cheese or mushy peas. It is a delicious and savory treat that is often enjoyed as a quick snack or as part of a meal. The pastry is made from layers of thin dough that are folded and baked until golden and crispy. The filling is rich and flavorful, with the ricotta cheese version being creamy and slightly tangy, while the mushy peas version is earthy and comforting. Pastizzi can be found in many bakeries and street food stalls throughout Malta, and they are a must-try for any visitor to the island.
