Description

A comforting and nutritious meal featuring chickpeas and perfectly fried eggs, ideal for quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chickpeas (canned or cooked)
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a non-stick skillet, warm up a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Sauté the chickpeas and tomatoes: Add the chickpeas and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they’re warmed through and fragrant.
  3. Create wells for the eggs: With the back of a spoon, make two small wells in the mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well.
  4. Cover and cook: Place a lid on the skillet and allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set, about 4-5 minutes. You want those edges to be tender and the yolks still a little runny if you prefer that.
  5. Season and serve: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm alongside crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Customize with spinach, avocado, or herbs for added flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
