Tunisian Egg Brik

Four thin brik pastry sheets each wrap one egg and are fried until crisp, with a runny yolk.

This simple version of Tunisian brik puts the egg at the center and leaves out optional fillings. Fold the pastry around each egg and fry it quickly; serve the briks freshly cooked to enjoy their crisp texture and runny yolk.

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep or wide frying pan. It is ready when a small piece of pastry sizzles on contact.

  2. 02

    Assemble one brik at a time: place a brik pastry sheet on a clean surface, crack an egg into the center, and fold the sheet around the egg to enclose it. Prepare the next one just before frying.

    8 min
  3. 03

    Carefully place one brik in the hot oil and fry it for about 4 minutes in total, turning it so it browns on both sides. Fry the remaining briks one at a time.

    16 min
  4. 04

    Lift each brik out of the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve freshly cooked.
