The variety of Egyptian recipes is endless. They go back a very long way. As a result of subsequent colonization, foreign influence is somewhat present, specially from the Turkish cuisine (it is understandable after more than 300 years of Turkish presence in Egypt). The "Pashas" living in Cairo mainly employed the natives as help and cooks. Their kitchen doors opened to us with their culinary secrets and, hence, Turkish food became part of ours.

FRIED EGGS WITH WHITE CHEESE
Beed ma'li gibna beeda
Ingredients:
* 4-6 slices hard white cheese
* 4-6 eggs
* cooking oil or spray
* salt & pepper
Instructions:
* Slice the cheese 1/2 inch thick & fry in skillet, turning & frying on both sides. Remove the cheese to one side of the serving dish, keeping warm. Break eggs and fry in the same fat. Serve the eggs alongside the cheese and season with taste. Garnish as desired.
* Here in the US, I used Wisconsin Farms' Frying Cheese, which I found at Wal-Mart, since Gibna or local Egyptian cheese, is not available here.
