Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix chopped tomato and chickpeas. Add onions and season with salt and pepper.
On a sheet tray line 12, 3 inch ramekin dishes. Spoon the chickpea mixture evenly into all ramekin dishes, leaving a little room at the top of each. You can also use a lined muffin tin.
Crack an egg on top of each individual ramekin dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake in oven for 18-20 minutes or until egg white springs back when touched.
If desired, sprinkle a little cheddar cheese on each dish prior to serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef Tips

If you don’t want to make 12 portions, halve the recipe and bag & freeze the leftover chickpeas for another meal.

In winter, use cherry tomatoes for more flavor.

Try a sprinkle a little paprika on the egg before baking.
