❓ FAQs About Tunisian Stuffed Pastry (Brik)

1. What is Tunisian Brik made of?
It’s a thin pastry filled with egg, tuna, onion, and herbs, then fried until crispy.

2. Can I use phyllo instead of warka?
Yes! Phyllo sheets or spring roll wrappers work as substitutes if warka pastry isn’t available.

3. Is Brik always made with tuna?
No. Some versions use ground meat, seafood, or just eggs and herbs.

4. Can I bake Brik instead of frying?
Yes, but frying gives it the traditional crispy texture. If baking, brush with oil before placing in the oven.

5. What do you serve with Brik?
It pairs perfectly with fresh salad, harissa sauce, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
