Method
Heat the walnuts in a dry heavy skillet for a few minutes until their colour has darkened a bit and they have a toasty fragrance. Remove and set them aside.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the dates in butter for two minutes. They burn in high heat so be careful with the temperature.
Add the egg whites and cook them for 1-2 minutes. I like the egg whites perfectly set while the egg yolks are still runny. That’s the reason I suggest separating them so you have better control over your preferred consistency.
Once the egg whites turn firm, add the egg yolks followed by the toasted walnuts and fry them together for 2 more minutes.
Salt to taste and serve it with your favourite bread. Enjoy!
