HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

02

Add the cubed halloumi cheese to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove the halloumi from the skillet and set aside.

03

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, until they begin to soften. Stir in the cumin and paprika, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

04

Create two small wells in the tomato mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Season the eggs with black pepper.

05

Cover the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes over medium-low heat, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

06

Return the cooked halloumi to the skillet, distributing it around the eggs. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the cumin and paprika. Serve directly from the skillet with warm pita bread or crusty toast for dipping.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have halloumi, feta cheese can be crumbled in at the end, though it won't brown. Spinach can be wilted with the tomatoes for added greens. You can also use a mix of bell peppers instead of or in addition to cherry tomatoes.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the eggs may become rubbery when reheated. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat.
