I was first introduced to malawah, a flaky, slightly sweet and buttery Yemenite bread, by my husband who loved making it as a late-night (usually post-drinking) snack, a habit he picked up from his time in Israel. As Leah Hadad writes in Jewish Food Experience, it was brought over to Israel by Yemenite Jews and became popular, cropping up in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Kosher in the Kitsch’s Nina Safar even makes a savory hamantaschen using malawah.
My family now enjoys making it simply with butter, cinnamon and sugar as a sweet treat but I also love serving it with a spicy tomato sauce for an easy dinner.
In this brunch-perfect dish, I add some classic Jewish-American flavors and coat it in homemade spicy everything mix, then top it with a fried egg. And since I use frozen malawah (you can find it in the freezer section of kosher markets and some major supermarket chains), it’s an easy dinner when you are short on time or want to enjoy a lazy Sunday breakfast. Add some crumbled feta and Israeli salad for an even more complete meal.
