Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Water
- 4 cups (for boiling)
- Eggs
- 6 large
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the saucepan and let the eggs simmer gently for 2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to deepen and the eggs to become tender.
- After 2 hours, remove the eggs from the saucepan and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells and peel them carefully while keeping them whole.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika to create a flavorful spice blend.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the peeled eggs to the skillet and sprinkle the spice mixture over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are lightly browned and heated through.
- Remove the eggs from the skillet and serve them hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice blend.
- You can substitute olive oil with ghee for a richer flavor.
- Serve Beid Hamine with a side of crusty bread or a fresh garden salad to balance the meal.
