Romantic Morning with Tunisian Brik Bite
Ingredients
- 4 brik dough sheets
- 4 eggs
- 4 asparagus blanched
- 1 avocado
- cumin
- salt
- canola oil/avocado oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
- Prepare one brik at a time.
- In a deep-frying pan, warm oil on medium heat to 350°F.
- Carefully place the blanched asparagus, a couple of avocado slices and an egg on the top center part of the brik dough.
- Gently fold the top part of the dough forward, tuck the sides in and continue to fold the dough over the filling.
- The egg white will help the dough sheet stick together.
- Place the folded brik aside and set on parchment paper.
- Continue folding all briks using the same method.
- Once all briks are folded, carefully drop them seam-down into the hot oil.
- Make sure not to fry more than a couple at a time in order to keep the oil temperature steady.
- Fry for one minute on both sides until the brik is golden brown.
- For firm yolks you may add another minute of frying time.
- Remove briks, place on a paper towel and dust with cumin and salt.
- Serve along with harissa. (Find a recipe for harissa on afooda.com)
