Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/3 cup date paste (or blended dates)

1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Crusty bread or pita for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: If you haven't done so already, prepare your date paste by blending pitted dates until smooth. Set aside.

    Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.

      Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook them sunny-side-up or flipped, depending on your preference, for about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or longer if you prefer them fully cooked.

        Add Date Paste: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully spoon the date paste over the top of the eggs. Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the date paste for added flavor.

          Combine Flavors: Allow the date paste to warm slightly for about 1-2 minutes. This will help enhance the sweetness and blend with the savory eggs.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread or pita to soak up the delicious mixture.
