Steps

1

Grease the baking pan with 1/2 cup melted butter and add the kunafa coloring, spreading it evenly.
2

Spread the kunafa dough evenly in the pan, pressing it down well to make sure there are no gaps.
3

Pour the remaining melted butter evenly over the dough.
4

Spread the cheese evenly over the dough in a 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick layer.
5

Place the pan over medium heat, rotating it gently so the cheese melts and the bottom of the kunafa turns golden brown. Check the edges to make sure it's done.
6

Flip the kunafa onto a larger tray, pour the simple syrup over it, and sprinkle with pistachios.
7

Serve hot and enjoy!
