Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook chickpeas: Add the cooked chickpeas to the skillet, then sprinkle paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas become slightly crispy and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push chickpeas aside: Using a spatula, push the crispy chickpeas to one side of the pan to make room for the eggs.
- Fry eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the empty side of the skillet. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness – sunny side up, over easy, or well done.
- Serve: Plate the chickpeas topped with the fried eggs. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro to add a refreshing touch and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add spinach or tomatoes for extra nutrition and color.
- Serve with toast or flatbread to complete the meal.
