- Ready In:

- Yields:
-
4 eggs
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 8 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 4 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 3 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1⁄2 cup hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup flour, for dusting
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
directions
- 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.

These were very good eggs. I cooked the eggs, peeled them and then rolled them in the dukkah. Very tasty and healthy. I skipped the deep frying part. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6. -
Different. Pretty tasty. I made ours gluten free using rice flour and rather than deep frying in vegetable oil in order to be soy free, I used some extra virgin olive oil and lots of sweet (unsalted) butter and turned the eggs to brown each side in a cast iron pan. I coated with previously made recipe#479862 which was 5 star. As they cooled the outer layer of egg became tougher, just for the info not for the rating. Made for WELCOME TO EGYPT!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets.
We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends.
In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines.
Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy.
For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them.
I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline.
