A square flaky msemen flatbread on a white plate

Msemen is a square Moroccan flatbread. The dough of flour and semolina is stretched paper thin, oiled, folded into a square and fried on a flat pan until it's crisp and flaky.

One is 250 kcal, with 32 g of carbs, 11 g of fat and 5 g of protein. The flour is the carbs, the oil and butter in the folds are the fat.

It's usually eaten for breakfast or with afternoon tea, with honey and butter melted together. Those are extra and worth counting.

Tips

  1. 1Have it with a drizzle of honey and skip the butter.
  2. 2Eat one with eggs or soft cheese instead of two on their own.
  3. 3Try it with a little olive oil and a glass of unsweetened mint tea.
