I just know we never opened our fast with anything cooked.
Would be nice to see some daleel.
Try to stick with the Sunnah though of doing it with a date. There's also some scientific evidence I believe to back up the benefits of doing it with a date.

it's just that i saw a friend try to open her fast with a sambusa last week

Someone could verify this better, but from what I learned, after a long day of fasting, one's sugar level goes down. So before attacking the body with heavy food, one should attempt to raise the sugar level by eating dates.

Allah swt knows best.
