# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It turns plain eggs into something that feels like a dish someone would order at brunch, but you can make it in your pajamas.
  • The dukkah adds this incredible nutty crunch that makes every bite feel textured and alive, not just soft and rich.
  • You can prep the eggs ahead and assemble everything in under two minutes when youre ready to eat.
02 -
  • Dont skip the ice bath—it makes the difference between eggs that peel cleanly and ones that look like the moon.
  • Taste your dukkah before you sprinkle it, because some store-bought versions are heavily salted and you might want to go easy on the extra salt.
03 -
  • Use a timer for the eggs because even one extra minute changes the texture of the yolk, and consistency is what makes this feel effortless.
  • If your dukkah has whole nuts, give it a rough chop before sprinkling so every bite has a bit of crunch without any big chunks.
