Harissa Eggs

You may think I'm exaggerating when I say this is the BEST way to enjoy your morning eggs. I saw pesto eggs go viral, so as the #averagearabgirl I had to find a way to make an Arab version of the viral eggs, so what better than harissa.

Harissa is a hot chili red pepper paste used in Middle Eastern cuisine, specifically Tunisian and Moroccan. It is such a flavorful and spicy paste to add into your food, and adding it into my eggs this morning was the best thing since sliced bread.

It took me a total of 5 minutes to make, so it's a win win. If you don't know where to buy harissa, you can either go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian market, or buy it online from Thrive Market or Amazon. I suggest buying one that is authentic and not an American brand. So, if you want to make these fantastic eggs, keep reading!
