7 AMAZING Egyptian Breakfast Dishes

[@ladyzioness]

KZbin is our friend. We can make an entire foreign breakfast and eat like an Egyptian wherever we are (as long as we're able to get ingredients ☺️) THANK YOU OBI AND SALMA

[@MiddleEats]

Absolutely, and for most of these recipes, the ingredients should be available world wide!

[@mrinmayij]

This is the first time I am seeing Egyptian cuisine/food. And, I am honestly surprised with how many of Egyptian dishes I could try as a vegetarian. Thank you for showing these wonderful dishes. 😄

[@doroparker1702]

You need to discover Indian food as well. Just leaving the meat and eat around didn't make me happy back then when my mom kept on like always. She prepared meat and side dishes. Bland side dishes as the meat and sauce was the star and got the taste in every meal. Indian palak panir still is my favourite food. Indian is the most exciting way of being vegetarian.

[@MohammadRashadyandere-sama]

since Egypt is an agricultural nation most of the food actually is vegetarian

[@იოსებხანუკაშვილი]

Love your recipes, you are very pleasant. I used to visit Egypt and like all the food except the basbusa. Koshari was my favorite and no falafel is better than the Egyptian one.

[@yadiranavarro3078]

I just got back from a week in Abu Dhabi and while I was there I had no idea what I was eating every time I agreed to the "ful," but I am OBSESSED, it was so delicious and I can't stop thinking of it. Will be making it soon, and I can't wait to try to make all of the other recipes that you have in this video too. Thank you so much!

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

That clotted cream and honey would be lovely served on a scone instead of jam and clotted cream. Sort of the Egyptian version of a Cornish or Devon cream tea. Sounds lovely and something I want to try.

[@donnamarsh2432]

I was actually in Egypt the day this was posted! I love ful!! Missing the Egyptian food. Was my first time in EGY. Had the time of my life!

[@umy9828]

Love it! My dad is Egyptian but we grew up in a Middle Eastern community with barely any Egyptians and I still remember the homemade falafel/tamiya he would make us at home. So bright green inside and so fresh tasting. It’s still my favorite type of falafel today! I would love to see an Iraqi breakfast 🙂

[@Rxxmm]

Egyptian breakfast is always the best. It literally doesn’t disappoint 😌

[@MAli-rw8ko]

Thanks for sharing, despite I had foul medames for my breakfast today but your video is so appetizing wallah 😍😋I’m not Egyptian but I love the Egyptian breakfast. Love their foul modames, Jebna roomy, falafel, Alkhobz Albalady and fteer Almeshaltet🥲

Make aysh shamsea. The “sun bread” they have in Upper Egypt. It’s so delicious.

[@niamhybeagable]

This all looks delicious and who doesn't love breakfast for dinner (or brinner, if you will!) I'd love if you did a Moroccan breakfast table some day - I went there with a friend about ten years ago and loved the food so much.

Well, that's this year's Christmas day brunch sorted! What an amazing looking meal. Also, I really appreciate the non-meat recipes from middle eastern cuisine that you present. 😊

[@zalibecquerel3463]

Dude! You're Ful Medames video changed my life! Fava beans are God-Tier, and I now eat them for breakfast 3 times a week. Finishing them with a little raw chopped white onion, and some very good olive oil, they are fantastic! Looking forward to try Salma's version with the chilli pickles (Tang Gang seal of approval).

[@maiynnai]

I live in Canada and I'm so tired of our breakfasts. I recently started eating falafel and hummus for. It's such a nice change!! I can't wait to try the eggplant and the spicy ful. I'm vegan so I might have to try some substitutes for the other egg/cheese items lol. Yes, please share more breakfasts for us poor north americans so we can eat better, lol

[@alainadacosta1222]

These dishes look delicious! I love that you kept in the imperfections like the burnt dish and the not so great fava beans. I'm vegetarian so it was great to see so many veggie options

[@Liyana333]

This looks AMAZING!!! Every time I visit Egypt, breakfast is something I look forward to. Fuul medames is one of my favorite breakfast foods of all time ever since that first visit! Now i make them at home when I have the time, I would nearly always have the inclination. :P It's so delicious!!! With chopped red onion, tomato, coriander/cilantro, extra olive oil and tahini...Cuddled right up to a couple of soft poached or sunny side up fried eggs so the rich yolk also mixes with the deliciousness of the fava beans and the hot pita bread (or even with buttered toast for a change if in need of some classic toast an jam too. it all goes and the full fusion is flawless to add any tasty bits of other leftovers, or handy fresh vegetables. Egyptian breakfast is the bet way to add salads and fresh vegetables to breakfast beyond a simple cucumber sandwich and tea (which is also wonderful anytime, but can't beat the full fuul and eggs and the whole breakfast! Yum!!!

[@A_T216]

The worst part about delicious breakfast foods as an adult living alone is that you can't have them immediately after waking up - you've gotta make them all yourself first! These look so delicious that it definitely seems worth it!! (I do miss that aspect of childhood simplicity though.)

[@astachan-di8kh]

Egyptians enjoy a hearty breakfast that reflects their rich culinary heritage. Traditional Egyptian breakfast often includes ful medames, a dish made from fava beans seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, served with bread. Other popular items include taameya (Egyptian falafel), cheese, eggs prepared in various ways, such as scrambled or boiled, along with an assortment of vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives. Accompanied by flavorful dips like hummus and tahini, an Egyptian breakfast is a delicious and satisfying start to the day.

[@neeshweesh]

This looks absolutely incredible! On reflection, it is incredible how our mum's would have all this ready in the morning while we are still getting ready?! However, I think I am also likely to style it out as an Egyptian tapas dinner 🙈 Another incredible video, thank you so much to you both!! 🙏🏼

[@SatanClauze]

Another awesome video Obi. Cant wait to try making these! The stuffed pickled eggplant looks both easy and awesome

[@Patriottes]

This is exactly what my teeta's breakfast table looked like 🥰😞🥰 Altough she neber used ta3meya batter for 3egga. Just chopped herbs . Allah yer7amha❤ Ive never tried cooking the spicy aubergines myself before, but I will now for sure 😁 PS: If u find a good/easy way to make PROPER Ftiir at home and share it, I will literally send you 10e as a thank you. 😆

Superb, scrumptious, chef level video that has me teary eyed because I don’t have this bounty waiting for me in the kitchen for breakfast. 🥲 I had no idea egga could be made with taamiya batter whaaaaat! 🤯 Your eggplant pickle recipe is truly the best I’ve seen and now has me confident enough to attempt it myself. How clever throwing in a beet! 😯😏 And omg pleeeeease do a feteer video. My attempts have been utter failures. I don’t know if it’s my oven or that I don’t know how to slap and stretch like the feteer masters in Egypt. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Uncooked interior, terrible chewy (not flakey) exterior. Smashing video guys!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Yummy. Yes there's something about the incredible crunchiness of Egyptian falafel... the best in the world! My Egyptian mother-in-law would make the eggplant dish but used more garlic than chilies. Addictive! I make my own version of Egyptian foul - except I use canned refried beans instead. Mixing tahini and date molasses is a taste sensation that too many people mix out on. It was nice to see you and Salwa eating in your dining room.

[@chantik]

I enjoy like you my mother-in-law’s Egyptian breakfasts and this is as close as one would possibly wish outside Egypt! :) bravo 3leko. When making fuul out of a tin, we go for the plain fuul from Sofra, it’s just the beans and water, and you can do your own dressing. The supposedly’Egyptian’ tin comes in that strange seasoning that really messes up the product. Great tip mixing soft cheese and feta to achieve the gebna beida effect. PS. We buy the same Turkish bastirma brand 😂 pricey but it’s the best and closer to Egyptian bastirma. Keep up the amazing work guys.

This sort of thing is why I like cooking - it's a cultural exploration for me! I LOVE the idea of the spicy pickled aubergines with falafel in a pita. I'm not sure anywhere sells baby aubergines around here - how is it done with fried slices?

[@emadalyahmed]

I’m Egyptian and, always liked our pickled aubergine with breakfast but since I got married to a Syrian and being introduced to their version of the stuff (Makdoos) and I can’t have a breakfast without it, it’s heavenly with minced walnut and red peppers for stuffing . You could just have it with bread and be satisfied . Frying doesn’t work for these dish, though

[@nadaelgyziri3077]

It’s can’t be done with fried slices, however what I think they meant is that you can use fried aubergine slices instead of the picked ones and it would taste delicious in the pita with the falafel as well

[@emadalyahmed]

@@nadaelgyziri3077 absolutely, fried slices of aubergine with falafel are a wicked combination

[@MiddleEats]

It can be done with fried slices, but won't be exactly the same. Check my aubergine pickle video, follow the same frying steps, but then spread the chilli sauce on instead of garlic sauce. The boiled ones are softer, but in the end the taste is what matters.

For those hankering for fiteer I've found Indian paratha is a good replacement. Not as many layers but you still get the buttery flakiness. The frozen ones take about 2 minutes each to heat up on the stove.
