History

According to historian Daniel Newman, a related dish called narjisiyya (Arabic: نرجسية) can be found in a 13th-century Andalusian cookbook, although it is unclear which dish predates the other.[6][7] Older recipes for narjisiyya can be found in a 10th-century book by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq, who described a dish made with sunny-side-up eggs.[8][9]
