# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Dukkah does all the heavy lifting—transform humble eggs into something guests will actually ask you about.
  • Ready in 20 minutes, but tastes like you've been cooking since dawn.
  • Works for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or that moment when you're not sure what meal it is anymore.
02 -
  • The dukkah loses its crunch if it sits on the eggs for more than a few minutes, so assemble just before serving—this is a dish that demands presence.
  • Homemade dukkah is worth the 15 minutes if you can manage it; store-bought works beautifully, but toasting your own spices transforms how they taste.
03 -
  • Toast your dukkah ingredients in a dry pan until fragrant, then cool completely before grinding—this single step makes the difference between okay spice and actually transformative.
  • If an egg cracks while boiling, the water will turn cloudy, but the egg is still perfectly fine to eat; don't stress.
