How to Make Fet Ta Yemeni Bread Pudding

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey to taste).
Heat the milk-sugar mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until small bubbles appear around the edges of the pan (about 2-3 minutes).
Stir in 2 tablespoons of ghee (or melted butter) and 4-6 small (6-inch) warmed tortillas, torn into bite-sized pieces.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue stirring frequently until most of the milk has evaporated, and the fet-ta is thick and creamy but not dry (about 4-5 minutes).
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or ghee/butter as needed.
Spoon the fet-ta into a serving bowl. Create a small well in the center and drizzle with an additional teaspoon of ghee/butter and honey, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
