Chickpea and egg bake is a hearty brunch casserole made by cracking eggs over chickpeas simmered with tomato and cumin, then baking everything with a saffron aroma. The saffron-infused soaking water gives the bake both a golden colour and a delicate fragrance.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the tomato

8 min

Grate the tomatoes and cook them in the olive oil.

2

Add the chickpeas

5 min

Add the chickpeas, cumin, salt and black pepper and cook for 5 more minutes.

3

Steep the saffron

15 min

Steep the saffron in 2 tablespoons of warm water for 15 minutes to release its colour.

4

Transfer to the dish

3 min

Stir the saffron water into the chickpea mixture and transfer it to a baking dish.

5

Crack the eggs

5 min

Crack the eggs over the mixture in the baking dish.

6

Bake

20 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 20 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks stay creamy.

Reminder

Be careful not to break the yolks when cracking the eggs — the look and texture of the bake depend on it. Taking it out too early leaves the yolk runny, too late dries it out; 20 minutes is the ideal time. Allergens: contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you cannot find saffron, a pinch of turmeric gives a similar colour; the aroma will differ but the look stays the same.
