Regag

Also known as: رقاق

Thin griddled Emirati bread folded around egg, cheese and fish sauce.

About Regag

Regag is a thin bread cooked on a hot plate or griddle and enjoyed in Emirati homes and street-food shops. Chef Sajjad Hussain's version includes egg, cheese and fish sauce inside a folded bread.

A little sugar gives the dough a sweet edge, while cheese and fish sauce supply savoury flavour. Egg forms another layer across the bread's surface.

The bread becomes thin and crisp at its edges before being folded into a triangular shape. This filled regag is served hot.
