Course Breakfast & Brunch
Cuisine African, Middle Eastern

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)
