Tunisian Brik Breakfast Pastry
Brik is a very thin, brittle pastry that shatters with each bite. It's used in Tunisian cooking, and here, is the base for a breakfast pastry stuffed with egg, potato, roasted fennel, and creamy, salty feta. Brik is easy to make, but if you prefer, you can swap in two sheets of frozen phyllo dough that have been thawed and brushed with olive oil before being layered together (phyllo will brown a little faster than homemade pastry). Fry these pastries in batches so the brik doesn't get soggy and tear. Using cold eggs is the secret to the yolks remaining runny after cooking; warmer eggs will yield a firmer yolk. The green harissa served alongside is herby, spicy, and bright; serve any leftover harissa with eggs, grilled meats, or on a sandwich.
