Tunisian Egg Brik
Four thin brik pastry sheets each wrap one egg and are fried until crisp, with a runny yolk.
This simple version of Tunisian brik puts the egg at the center and leaves out optional fillings. Fold the pastry around each egg and fry it quickly; serve the briks freshly cooked to enjoy their crisp texture and runny yolk.
