I'm interested to hear what milky foods are served among Sephardim for Shavuoth.

So far I can think of cheese brekas, cheese bread balls (is it turkish?), really butterly/flakey pastry thing (is it turkish again?), misc frttata/pies with feta/salty cheese, eggplant with labne. Rice pudding, Har Sinai biscocho (is it turkish againx2?) and knaiffe or atayf with cream filling for dessert.

Anything else that's your favourite?

aubergine with labne: grill and scoop inside of aubergine/eggplant, season with sauteed onion, salt, pepper and mix in labne

knaiffe: it's shredded-wheat like pastry used for bird's nest pastry and the like. Coat bottom/top and use creamy-pudding like thing in the middle

atayf: it's a baby-sized pancake, cook one side, fill with cream or nut filling, fold and seal in half. deep fried and drizzled with syrup. calorific but delish

sambousak: crescent-shaped pastry with cheese savory filling.

calsones: the only I know are the pasta shapes with cottage cheese filling.

har sinai biscochos: flat, round, small shortbread biscuit that has pecal half sticking out in the middle (which is supposed to resemble 2 tablets)

someone told me that the cheese dough ball are portuguese.

My grandmother a"h always made kahi (kind of mallawach-ish pancakes) with kemar (homemade clotted cream) and we'd eat it with silan.
now my family just does mallawach with whipped heavy cream.
