Method

Finely chop the onion⁵, mince the garlic⁶, and dice the tomatoes⁴.
Heat a skillet with oil and sauté the onion⁵ for 3–4 minutes until soft.
Add the garlic⁶, paprika, and cumin, and warm for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes⁴, chickpeas, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Make two wells in the sauce, crack the eggs¹ into them, and crumble the feta² over the top.
Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
Remove from the heat and let stand for 1 minute before serving.

Tips

Why it works: Warm the paprika and cumin in the oil before the tomatoes go in. In 30 seconds the spices release their aroma and don't have time to turn bitter.
Substitutions: Swap the feta for brynza in the same 60 g, and add less salt then. Swap the canned chickpeas for 100 g of boiled beans.
Common mistakes: Most often the eggs are overcooked. The white turns firm and the yolk dull after just 7 minutes under the lid.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days and don't bring it back to a boil. Reheat over low heat under a lid for 3 to 4 minutes. The yolk will be firmer after storage.
Serve with: Serve for breakfast with toast or a piece of regular bread to scoop up the thick tomato sauce.

In short

Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.

Average supermarket prices, BLS (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), October 2026. Your store will differ: products come in packs and each chain sets its own prices. The priciest item here is feta or brined cheese.
