Egyptian Fried Boiled Eggs (Beid Meza'lil)
These Egyptian fried boiled eggs aka Beid Meza'lil are a total treat for your taste buds. Crispy, flavorful and easy to make, you've got to try this recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 hard boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ½ cup cucumber diced
- ½ cup radish diced
- 1 teaspoon mint leaves fresh
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Get the eggs to room temperature and add them to a pan or a skillet with a bit of ghee over medium heat.
- Move them around gently using a wooden spoon until they’re beautiful golden brown on the surface.
- Season them with salt, pepper and sumac and slice them. Add them to a large bowl with the veggies, mint leaves and feta cheese, drizzle a bit of olive oil and serve!
Notes
Remember to pat dry the eggs before you add them to the pan, especially if you’ve just peeled them. This will keep them from splattering when they’re fried in ghee.
Use a good quality non-stick pan or skillet greased in a bit of ghee or butter for best results, and to keep the eggs from sticking to the surface.
To add some extra flavor to the hard boiled eggs, you can also use some paprika or cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
I would recommend finishing up these fried boiled eggs as quickly as you can, as they don’t stay fresh for too long.
If you do have some leftovers, you can use them up to make another salad like a nice chickpea egg salad or just transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them.
