Seadas

The filling is fresh, still slightly tangy pecorino cheese, not a sweet cheese, so the honey drizzled on top is what turns a savory-tasting core into a dessert.
Seadas are large fried pastry disks filled with tangy fresh pecorino and a touch of lemon zest, fried until the shell blisters, then drizzled with warm honey while still hot. Sardinian markets and trattorie serve them as a classic end-of-meal sweet.
Why it's made this way: The pairing of the island's abundant sheep's-milk cheese with wild honey reflects Sardinia's shepherding economy, and the dish remains one of the clearest expressions of the island's pastoral cuisine.
