Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 2 tablespoons hazelnuts
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pieces flatbread or pita bread
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Toast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.

Step 2

In the same skillet, toast the hazelnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Allow them to cool slightly, then rub off the skins with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, grind the toasted seeds, hazelnuts, kosher salt, and black peppercorns into a coarse mixture. Set the dukkah aside.

Step 4

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up, over-easy, or medium, about 3-5 minutes).

Step 5

Warm the flatbread or pita bread in a dry skillet or toaster until soft and pliable.

Step 6

To serve, place two eggs onto each plate and sprinkle generously with the dukkah spice mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 7

Serve with warm bread for dipping into the runny yolks or alongside fresh vegetables like cucumber and tomato slices for a complete meal.
