Cuisine:Ingredients
- 1/4 cup labneh, or plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, mint, or fill
- 1/2 teaspoon za'atar seasoning
- 1 pita bread, cut into triangles
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil then, using a spoon, gently add your egg to the pot and boil for 6-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the egg from the pot and transfer it to a bowl with cold water until cool enough to handle, and then peel the eggs.
- In a small pan, warm the olive oil, then add the diced bell pepper and tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, gently breaking them up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- In a shallow serving bowl, dollop the labneh or yogurt into the bowl and then, using the back of a spoon, spread it across 1/3 of the bowl.
- Top the labneh with the tomato mixture, soft-boiled eggs, and sprinkle with feta cheese, fresh herbs, za’atar seasoning, and serve with a side of warm pita bread.
Notes
To Use Garlic Powder: Swap the garlic clove for 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
To Use Cayenne Pepper: Swap the red pepper flakes for 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
