Just a quick little meat-free dish today - spicy tomato sauce-bathed chickpeas, topped with goats cheese, with a surprise baked egg in the middle. Substantial and really delicious.
Baked eggs and chickpeas (serves 2)
1tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1tsp chilli paste (Gran Luchito, chipotle in adobo, harissa, sambal oelek - whatever you like)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1tsp tomato puree
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 eggs
Goats cheese or feta
Saute the garlic in the olive oil and add the tomatoes, chilli paste and tomato puree and cook for a few minutes until the sauce is quite thick. Taste for seasoning.
Divide between two oven-proof dishes and make a well in the centre of each. Crack in an egg and top with some cheese. Bake at 180C until the egg white is cooked (because of Paul's preference for well-done eggs I cooked this for about 20 minutes - but it doesn't need that long).

A nice and trusty combo and so simple too. Love the use of chilli and cheese. Yum.
This sounds really nice!
so many good flavours that would combine really well
Okay. I am absolutely, positively going to make this. As soon as I get a bank loan so I can buy some goat's cheese. Sigh, I do miss London/England and its relatively cheap dairy products.
this may be simple, but it's also a little bit of everything i love. there's a lot to be said for simple tastes! :)
A protein loaded breakfast!
