Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mashed potato, fresh parsley, capers (if using), harissa (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure the potato is well mashed for a smooth filling.
2
Lay one brick pastry sheet flat on a clean surface.

Place half of the tuna-potato mixture in the center of the pastry sheet, forming a small mound.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Leave enough space around the edges to fold.

Carefully crack one egg directly on top of the tuna-potato mixture.
5
Fold the pastry sheet into a triangle or half-moon shape, enclosing the filling.
Uns 1 min

Conservació

Com conservar-ho

Brik is best enjoyed fresh; it does not store well as the pastry will lose its crispness.
