Msemen

in Marrakesh

Msemen is a layered griddled flatbread with crisp edges and soft folds, usually eaten with honey, cheese, or tea as one of Marrakesh's essential breakfast bites.

Did you know?

The dough is folded repeatedly to create its signature layers, which is why a good msemen feels both buttery and lightly crisp at once.
