Moroccan Breakfast is Amazing | Flakey Bread, Spiced Beef Eggs, Barley Porridge and More

Turkish köy kahvaltısı (village breakfast) would be a good one. It’s kinda similar in that there’s olives, different types of cheese, and jam, but you can also have simit, börek, açma, gözleme, menemen or çılbır (or you can do sucuk and eggs if you like sucuk). Also, there is kaymak and honey, which would basically be clotted cream and honey, as well as acvar to spread on bread. And tomatoes and cucumbers are necessary as well. I like to have hard boiled eggs with mine. 😋 And Turkish tea, if you’re into that, I personally prefer coffee even though you’re supposed to drink coffee after breakfast in Turkey. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Basically it’s a giant spread and you eat it while chatting and relaxing with friends and family.

Turkish breakfast! Delicious and so much variety. Black and green olives, different type of cheeses like white cheese, Ezine cheese, kashar etc., pastırma, sujuk, honey and kaymak, original jams like rose jam and quince jam, beautiful egg dishes like çılbır, kavurmalı yumurta(egg with kavurma meat) and menemen. And also some type of böreks eaten in breakfast like sigara böreği (cigar börek), paçanga böreği. Those are main types. There is also lots of variety for different regions.

[@fighttheevilrobots3417]

Turkish Kahvalti (Breakfast) is my favorite meal, ever, of all time. It makes me think of sitting with my father in Istanbul as a little girl. Fresh tomatoes, cucumber, black olives. Water Boreka. Rose or Sour Cherry Jam. Apple Black tea. Crusty bread. Simit (hot! From the cart downstairs!) Honey. Labneh. Sigara borek. Menemen! Sliced Feta and Kaskaval cheeses. Family and loved ones. 🥰

[@iantaylor9586]

I love the breakfast series!! Would love to see an Israeli breakfast: eggs, yogurt/labneh, cucumber-tomato salad, whole wheat bread, and a coffee latte.

[@morocco_020fc7]

Not all regions in Morocco have the same kind of breakfast. This is the breakfast you will most likely see in southern Morocco. What we eat here in the North is so much different we eat bissara, eggs(without khlea but with Spanish mortadillas) and with La vache qui rit and a lot of extra olive oil, instead of strawberry jam we use peach jam, we also eat honey with butter and use it as an dip, we eat a lot of Spanish baked goods instead of French ones like croissant in southern Morocco, and we also eat harsha and we also eat Spanish and Dutch cheese and our own goat cheese.

[@miiim]

Yes I agree. When I visited Morocco the jam was peach one and there were a lot of colored olives and olive oil. The best olive oil in the world.

[@morocco_020fc7]

@@miiim It means you visited the North. Also the reason it is coloured is because its natural unlike the black ones which yes you can make natural but are most likely made using chemicals.

[@Karawoolfe]

To be honest the stuff you can have for breakfast in morocco are many many, so it's impossible to eat the all at once but usually you can find some random combination but still some staples like mint tea, honey and olive oil and some kind of bread and olives. The soups are not an everyday breakfast at home but you can eat it outside everyday if that's your favorite breakfast, eggs as well. But in the country side especially in the winter soup is almost everyday because it warms you up and the legumes or weath will fill you up for longer!

[@yasmina10013]

Yep, in the north it's different (their jben is delicious). This one is more Central Moroccan than southern, but overall Moroccan breakfasts are similar to each other.

First of all, you are an amazing chef! I love how you introduce us to different cuisines without losing the traditional touch. And as a Moroccan I am feeling happy to see some of our dishes presented with a lot of love and passion. secondly, you need to try berkoukch (it's like couscous served with milk, pure honey, amlou, or just some virgin olive oil), bissara (dried fava or dried peas soup served with harissa and olive oil and cumin), harcha (semolina bread), Krachel (marrocan brioche with sesame, anis, etc) , batbout (Bread cooked on a skillet), traditional sourdough bread, eggs with fresh ground cumin 😻 or just some hot bread with honey and amlou (amlou is like almond butter, made with grilled almond or peanut and argan oil). There is still a lot to discover into the Moroccan cuisine/culture. (Sorry for my broken English 😅)

I had orange juice when I was in Tangier and from the first sip I knew it was, hands down, the best orange juice I had ever tasted in my life. It really was on a whole different level to anything I'd ever had, and I've been to almost 40 countries in my life and drunk a lot of orange juice!

[@miguelmarquez4192]

Try juicing tangelos when theyre available. Thats what i do when im missing the flavor youre talking about. Not saying moroccans use tangelos. But to me nothing is better! (Even though it ruins any other juice you try after you make this).

I just did myself baghrir this morning ! If you find it easier to scale your ingredients like that, I usually use 2 glasses (Whatever glass you want, just use the same one to keep proportions right) of semolina, 1 glass of flour, pinch of salt, tsp of sugar/honey, tsp of yeast and 3 and a half glass of lukewarm water. Mix it with a blender THEN add the baking soda (a tsp). For the baghrir, we moroccans usually dip our baghrir in a Honey and butter sauce (Melt some butter in honey, you can use the microwave for that... I personnaly like to add a splash of orange blossom water on that)

Studied abroad in Morocco in college. Bunch of my classmates and I went backpacking during the week of Eid al-Adha, as we had it off, and everywhere we went the breakfast was amazing. This brings back so many memories, thank you!

[@KathrynKauffmanPsychicMedium]

It's very interesting about the Laughing cow cheese. I must say I am so confused about the types of cheeses at our local Arabic grocery. Would it be possible for you to do a video on the types of cheeses and their uses? This would really help us figure out what to but and how to cook with it. Love your videos and recipes. I am sending a tip 💗

[@happydillpickle]

If you like processed cheese, the jarred cheese made by Puck is delicious (or disgusting if you don't like that very salty, processed flavour, but I absolutely love it). It's so creamy. I eat it on Arabic tea rusks with cumin (the type with cumin seeds baked into them). The tinned Feta style cheeses come in a variety of fat contents. The 50% fat ones are my favourite, especially the goats' cheese. They are in brine and in two rounds, one on top of the other, and come with a plastic resealable lid and keep well in the fridge (I don't know how long for though because they are too delicious to leave too long once opened! My favourite way of eating the goats' cheese is by making a salad. First I cube tomatoes and cucumber into approximately 1cm pieces in equal proportions, say two tomatoes to half a cucumber, or 4 tomatoes to one cucumber (or if you're using the small variety of cucumber, 3 or 4 cucumbers per tomato). I then finely chop a Turkish green sweet pepper, a small red capsicum, two large scallions or spring onions, a generous handful of fresh coriander including the stalks. I then add a handful of Turkish black olives (the salt preserved variety, which have pits, so I remove these first and break the olives into quarters). Be sure to remove all the stones as they can break your teeth! I then mix the juice of half a lemon or lime with two tablespoons of good olive oil, black pepper, salt to taste, a half teaspoon of Turkish mixed spice (Baharat Karisimi), a pinch of cayenne pepper and mix well. I use a whole lemon if I'm using those delicious little tiny lemons- if you can find these they are delicious and add a real kick to the salad. I then mix all the ingredients together and toss it in the dressing before roughly cutting the tinned 50% goats cheese in brine into smallish cubes, about the size of a small dice. It will be quite crumbly. I then top the salad with the cheese, drizzle with olive oil and grind a little black pepper on top with a sprinkle of paprika. Delicious!

Oh, I forgot- I sometimes add a half teaspoon of harissa paste to the mix

I'm not sure how available this is in the rest of the U.S, but where I live, we actually have a pretty good alterative to that khlea stuff.
