Brick pastry sheets are very thin and cook quickly in a pan. Here we fill them with shredded tuna and a raw egg that we'll deep fry. Result: the white sets, the yolk stays runny. Sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds, it's a classic Mediterranean dish.

8 brick pastry sheets
1 can (4/4) of tuna in water
8 eggs
2.1 oz (60 g) butter
0.4 cup (10 cl) olive oil
1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
Salt and pepper

Step-by-step directions

1 Melt the butter without browning in a saucepan.

2 Drain and shred the tuna. Separate the brick sheets, lay them on your work surface, and brush them with butter.

3 Scatter the tuna pieces in the center of each brick sheet and shape them into discs about the size of a saucer.

4 Crack an egg onto each pile and season. Fold the sides of the bricks starting from the top and bottom, then the right and left sides to enclose the filling.

5 Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Fry the bricks in batches on one side for 4 minutes. Flip them and fry for 3 minutes on the other side.

6 Arrange the bricks on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve very hot. You can also add crumbled feta cheese.
