About Eggah

Dyna’s eggah recalls her family’s Egyptian weekend breakfasts and her father’s cooking. Parsley is the dominant fresh flavour in these egg-and-onion omelettes.

Fried onion supplies a savoury base, with flour contributing body to the eggs. Salt and pepper provide the simple seasoning, while butter is one of the offered cooking choices.

The eggah is served hot and can appear in slices as part of a mezze platter. Feta and fresh Lebanese bread are suggested accompaniments, adding dairy tang and bread alongside the omelette.
