Tunisian egg and potato brik

Four Tunisian egg and potato briks: crisp brik pastry, egg, and a simple potato filling. Fry and serve freshly made.

This vegetarian version combines egg and potato in thin sheets of brik pastry, folded and fried. Brik pastry is the Tunisian choice; filo appears as a substitute in some recipes, but this version sticks to one pastry.

Method

  1. 01

    Cook the potatoes

    Boil the peeled potatoes until tender and easy to pierce with a fork. Drain and mash them.

    25 min
  2. 02

    Season the filling

    Mix the mashed potato with the salt and black pepper, then divide the mixture into four portions.

  3. 03

    Assemble the briks

    Layer two brik pastry sheets for each piece. Put one portion of potato in the center, make a hollow, and crack an egg into it. Fold the pastry around the filling and repeat to assemble four briks.

  4. 04

    Fry and serve

    Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Fry the briks one at a time for 2–3 minutes on each side; remove them when golden and crisp, and serve freshly made.
