Great to share, extremely pretty to photograph and ohhh so so so bloody fantastically delicious!!! Rich flavours, like a comfort food that you literally can't get enough of.

Serves 2 | Prep Time 10min | Total Time 40min

INGREDIENTS

1 spring onion, thinly sliced
1 capsicum, diced
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper
400g tin diced tomatoes
1⁄4 cup vegetable stock
1⁄2 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained & rinsed
4 eggs
60g halloumi, sliced
Handful of parsley, roughly torn
1 tsp SPICETUB Egg Master
Bread or pita, to serve

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Heat a medium sized oven proof frypan to medium and cook the spring onion & capsicum with the olive oil until softened. Add a small sprinkle of salt & pepper, the diced tomatoes and vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then lower simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and stir to combine. Make 4 evenly spaced holes in the mixture and crack an egg into each hole. Place the halloumi slices on top. Sprinkle over the torn parsley & SPICETUB Egg Master. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the egg is cooked to your liking. Enjoy with bread or pita.

TIP: You can alternatively cook the tomato mix in advance and then pour into a baking dish to cook the eggs
