Steps:
- DUKKAH.
- Roast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and hazelnuts until golden and fragrant. (You may need to do each of these separately, so none of them scorch).
- Rub the skins off of the hazelnuts as much as possible.
- Combine the seeds and nuts in a spice or coffee grinder, and grind until they are chopped, but not pulverized into a paste. Add the salt and pepper. If you have any of the Dukkah left over, keep it in a airtight container in the refrigerator.
- EGGS.
- Soft boil the eggs for 3 minutes, then cool and peel under running water to easily remove the shells.
- Lightly dredge the eggs in the flour, dusting off any excess, then deep fry for a minute or two, until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and roll in the Dukkah.
- Serve immediately with a light salad for an appetizer, or as is for a quick snack.
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality pastrami for the best flavor.
- If you don't have pastrami, you can use other deli meats like ham or salami.
- Use fresh eggs for the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the eggs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fried eggs with your favorite sides, such as toast, hash browns, or fruit.
