About

This great throw-together dish is made largely from staple ingredients. There are many variations of Tunisian Eggs, which are all based on the same idea, but vary slightly in their use of spicing and choice of herbs. I also like to crumble Homemade Paneer or other soft, crumbly cheese over the top just before serving.
