  • Boiled Eggs with Dukkah

    A simple, flavourful dish that pairs creamy boiled eggs with a crunchy, nutty dukkah topping. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a high-protein snack, this Middle Eastern-inspired combo brings texture, spice, and satisfaction to your plate. Quick to make and packed with healthy fats and protein — great on its own or with a slice of toasted sourdough.

    Ingredients (Serves 2):

    6 medium eggs
    2 tbsp dukkah (shop-bought or homemade – see tip)
    1 tsp olive oil or tahini (optional)
    Pinch of sea salt
    Chilli flakes or fresh herbs (optional garnish)

    Method:

    Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

    Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 6–8 minutes (6 for soft-boiled, 8 for firm).

    Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool for 5 minutes, then peel and slice in half.

    Arrange the eggs on a plate, cut side up.

    Sprinkle with dukkah, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil or tahini, if using.

    Finish with chilli flakes or chopped herbs for extra flavour and colour.

    Tip:
    To make homemade dukkah, toast 50g hazelnuts or almonds, 2 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, and 1 tbsp cumin seeds. Blitz with a pinch of sea salt until crumbly (not powdery). Store in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
