Trin for trin
- 1
Place a medium-sized non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm for 1 minute.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Using a non-stick pan ensures the eggs won't stick and makes cleanup easier.
- 2
Add the awarma to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the awarma begins to render its fat and turns lightly golden brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Ca. 4 min.
Kokkens note: There's no need to add extra oil, as the awarma will release plenty of its own flavorful fat, which is key to the dish's richness.
- 3
Carefully crack the four large eggs directly into the pan, spacing them evenly apart over the awarma.
Kokkens note: Crack each egg into a small bowl first to check for freshness and to prevent any shell fragments from entering the pan.
- 4
Season the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Kokkens note: Awarma is typically quite salty, so season the eggs sparingly to avoid over-salting the dish. You can always add more at the table.
- 5
Cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.
Ca. 4 min.
Kokkens note: For perfectly runny yolks, cook for approximately 3 minutes. For firmer, jammy yolks, extend the cooking time to 5 minutes or slightly longer.
- 6
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the eggs with freshly chopped parsley, if using.
Kokkens note: Fresh parsley adds a vibrant color and a fresh, herbaceous counterpoint to the rich awarma and eggs.
- 7
Serve the Bayd bel Awarma immediately, directly from the pan or transferred to individual plates, alongside warm pita bread for dipping.
Kokkens note: Warm pita bread is essential for scooping up the flavorful awarma and runny egg yolks, making it a truly authentic experience.

This dish is traditionally served with a side of fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives to balance the richness. A strong cup of Lebanese coffee or black tea makes the perfect accompaniment. For a slight variation, a sprinkle of sumac or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil can be added just before serving.
Store any leftover Bayd bel Awarma in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Gently reheat leftovers in a non-stick pan over low heat until warmed through, or microwave in 30-second intervals until hot. Be careful not to overcook the eggs.
