Flaky, crispy, and packed with flavor, stuffed msemen (rghaif) is a staple of Moroccan cuisine. While msemen is often enjoyed with honey or amlou as a sweet treat alongside mint tea, this savory version is filled with minced beef (kefta), sautéed onions, bell peppers, carrots, and cheese.
This is the kind of comfort food that brings people together, whether it’s for breakfast, tea time, or Ramadan iftar. Traditionally, msemen is pan-fried, but you can also bake them for a hands-off option. If you’ve never made msemen before, don’t worry, it’s easier than it looks. Follow along, and you’ll have golden, flaky stuffed msemen that’s impossible to resist!
