Egyptian Fried Eggs With Pastrami Recipes

EGYPTIAN EGGS WITH DUKKAH

Steps:

• DUKKAH.
• Roast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and hazelnuts until golden and fragrant. (You may need to do each of these separately, so none of them scorch).
• Rub the skins off of the hazelnuts as much as possible.
• Combine the seeds and nuts in a spice or coffee grinder, and grind until they are chopped, but not pulverized into a paste. Add the salt and pepper. If you have any of the Dukkah left over, keep it in a airtight container in the refrigerator.
• EGGS.
• Soft boil the eggs for 3 minutes, then cool and peel under running water to easily remove the shells.
• Lightly dredge the eggs in the flour, dusting off any excess, then deep fry for a minute or two, until they are golden brown.
• Remove from the oil and roll in the Dukkah.
• Serve immediately with a light salad for an appetizer, or as is for a quick snack.

EGYPTIAN SLOW COOKED EGGS (BEID HAMINE)

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a pot and add water to cover (about two inches above products in pot) and bring to simmer over the lowest heat possible.
• Simmer for 6-8 hours or overnight.
• Peel and slice. Serve with ful maddamas or as a garnish for stews.

QUICK PASTRAMI HASH & EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add potatoes, onion, bell pepper, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then spread in an even layer in the pan and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Stir in pastrami, spread back into an even layer and cook undisturbed again until a crust starts to form on the bottom, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Just after you add the pastrami to the hash, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slip them, one at a time, into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. Season with the remaining pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes for soft-set yolks.
• Divide the hash among 4 plates and top each serving with an egg.
