A Piece of Tunisian Tradition – Authentic and Spicy

3ejja Mergaz is much more than just an egg dish—it’s a culinary highlight of everyday Tunisian cooking. “3ejja” translates to “scrambled eggs” or “whisked eggs,” and when combined with grilled Merguez sausage, it creates a satisfying and aromatic dish enjoyed at any time of day in Tunisia. Whether for breakfast to fuel your day, as a quick lunch, or as a hearty dinner, our 3ejja Mergaz brings oriental comfort food directly to your plate.

What Makes Our 3ejja Mergaz So Special

To ensure you enjoy an authentic flavor experience, here’s all the important information you need:

• Traditional Tunisian Spices: Our 3ejja is prepared with a carefully balanced spice blend. The base is extra virgin olive oil, refined with a mild amount of Harissa—the famous Tunisian chili paste. Spices like cumin and garlic are also added, giving the dish its unmistakable, aromatic character.
• High-Quality Merguez Lamb Sausage: The heart of this dish is the Merguez. This fine, coarsely ground lamb sausage is typically spiced in a North African style—with Ras el-Hanout, Harissa, and fennel. It is seared until crispy before being added to the 3ejja, allowing it to develop its full aroma and a light roasted flavor.
• Key Facts for Perfect Preparation:
  • Simple & Quick Preparation: All you need is a non-stick pan. First, fry the Merguez sausages until they are crispy and brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan, pour off excess fat, and add the whisked eggs with the spice mix to the pan. Let them set over low to medium heat, stirring gently and continuously until the eggs are creamy. Finally, add the Merguez back to the pan and warm them through briefly.
  • Perfect Side Dishes: 3ejja Mergaz is traditionally served with crispy Tunisian bread (similar to flatbread or a baguette) to soak up the flavorful sauce. Pickled olives and fresh salad are excellent accompaniments.
  • Variations: In Tunisia, countless variations exist. Some people add potato cubes or bell peppers. You can easily adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of Harissa. For an extra creamy consistency, you can add a splash of water  to the eggs.
