# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms the humble boiled egg into something craveable and restaurant-worthy in under twenty minutes.
  • The textural contrast between creamy yolk and crunchy spice blend keeps you coming back for more.
  • It works equally well for a solo breakfast or feeding a crowd at brunch without any fuss.
02 -
  • The exact cooking time matters more than you'd think—even thirty seconds longer and that beautiful jammy yolk becomes disappointingly firm, so set a timer and trust it.
  • Dukkah's flavor mellows slightly once you toast it, but it fades fast once the oil hits it, so assemble everything just before serving for maximum crunch.
03 -
  • Keep your dukkah in a cool, dark place and it stays crisp and fragrant for weeks—I keep mine in a small glass jar where I can see it and remember to use it.
  • If you can't find fresh mint, the dish still sings with just parsley and cilantro, but the mint adds a dimension of coolness that makes it feel more special.
