Briouat with Eggs

Briouat with Eggs is a delightful Moroccan breakfast pastry filled with a savory mixture of eggs and spices, wrapped in crispy pastry. Perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, this dish is a high-protein start to your day.

Ingredients

• Warka (Moroccan pastry sheets) - 4 sheets
• Eggs - 4 large
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons for frying
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Lay out one warka sheet on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the egg mixture at one end of the sheet. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a small cylindrical shape. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
5. In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Fry the briouats until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
