Hard Cooked Eggs With Cumin Coarse Salt And Cayenne Food

MOROCCAN FRIED EGGS WITH CUMIN AND SALT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the eggs, break the yolks with a spatula, and allow the eggs to set. Occasionally lift the edges of the eggs to let the uncooked egg run underneath.
• This allows more egg to make contact with the pan for faster cooking.
• When the eggs have cooked, sprinkle with salt and cumin, and serve.

CUMIN-FLAVORED SALT

Steps:

• Toast cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1 minute. Grind very coarsely in a mortar or spice mill. Combine in a bowl with salt and stir together. Add red pepper flakes or cayenne, if using.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs into a saucepan and pour in cold water to cover; place over high heat. When the water just starts to simmer, turn off heat, cover pan with a lid, and let stand for 17 minutes. Don't peek.
• Pour out the hot water and pour cold water over eggs. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until eggs are cool, about 20 minutes. Peel eggs under running water.

HARD-COOKED EGGS WITH CUMIN, COARSE SALT, AND CAYENNE
