Chickpea Fried Eggs is a delicious and nutritious dish featuring crispy sautéed chickpeas and sun-dried tomatoes topped with perfectly cooked fried eggs. This quick and easy recipe combines smoky paprika flavors with rich egg yolks, making it a perfect savory breakfast or light meal option.

Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas & Tomatoes

  • 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, drained and patted dry (425 g)
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped (50 g)
  • Splash of oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Eggs & Seasoning

  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Chickpeas: Drain and pat dry the chickpeas. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the chickpeas, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, and a splash of oil from the jar. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas become slightly crispy.
  2. Make Holes: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Remove half of the chickpeas from the pan and set aside. In the remaining chickpeas in the pan, make two small wells or holes large enough to hold an egg each. Drizzle a little extra sun-dried tomato oil into each hole to help cook the eggs.
  3. Cook Eggs: Crack one egg into each hole. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, occasionally basting the eggs with oil from the pan to help the tops cook evenly without flipping. Repeat the process with the remaining chickpeas and eggs.
  4. Season and Serve: Once all eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chickpea Fried Eggs!

Notes

  • Ensure chickpeas are patted dry before cooking to achieve crispiness.
  • You can substitute sundried tomato oil with olive oil if unavailable.
  • Basting eggs helps cook the tops without flipping and preserves yolk creaminess.
  • Great served with crusty bread or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • Adjust seasoning and paprika amount based on your spice preference.
