Feuille de Brick is from North Africa, it looks and feels like a fine, lacy cloth with a satiny sheen and texture. When fried they are crisper than filo pastry and when baked they have a dry, melt-in-the-mouth crunchiness. They can be used for either savoury or sweet dishes, just fill them with your favorite combination of meat, seafood, vegetable, fruits chocolates, and nuts before cooking. Approx 30cm diameter.
This very thin pastry can easily be folded to make samosas or spring rolls. Traditionally used for a “brick a l’oeuf” (brick with egg) or pastilla, a savoury and sweet pie with meat and nuts covered with crispy layers of brick sheets, brick pastry is very versatile and is perfect for a quick dinner by simply making parcels with meat, fish, vegetables, cheese and more.
