Instructions

Prep

1
Finely dice the red onion, cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh parsley.
5 min
Keep the veggies small so you get a bit of everything in every spoonful!

Cook

2
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and boil for exactly 6 and a half minutes for a jammy yolk.
7 min
Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath after the timer goes off to stop the cooking.
3
While the eggs cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and dried oregano, tossing for about 4 minutes until warmed through and slightly fragrant.
4 min
Don't over-crisp them; we just want them warm and infused with the herb oil.
4
Place the warm chickpeas in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Top with the diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta.
2 min
5
Peel the eggs, slice them in half, and nestle them on top of the chickpea mixture. Garnish with plenty of fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
2 min
A crack of fresh black pepper right at the end makes the feta pop!

Chef's Notes

This is a savory breakfast staple in my home. The key is to not over-cook the eggs—you want them just set so the yolks are still a bit jammy. If you don't have a wooden salad bowl for serving, any shallow bowl works, but there's something about the wood that feels so rustic and right! Serving this with a side of warm pita or crusty whole grain bread is non-negotiable for scooping up all that goodness.
