Harissa Baked Eggs Recipe with Chickpeas, Spinach, and Sumac
Description
This recipe begins by gently sautéing garlic and fresh thyme in olive oil to release their aromas without browning. Chickpeas are warmed with spicy harissa paste, distributing the heat evenly. Fresh spinach is added alongside tomato puree and diced canned tomatoes to create a flavorful, rich sauce. Red pepper flakes increase the heat level. Four wells are made in the simmering sauce, into which whole eggs are cracked. Baking in a preheated oven lightly cooks the eggs until whites are set but yolks remain runny, offering luscious texture contrast.
Finished with ground sumac and a drizzle of more olive oil, the dish balances smoky heat, tangy notes, and fresh earthiness from spinach. It can be served warm directly from the skillet and is suitable as a flavorful breakfast, brunch, or light dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon thyme fresh
- 1 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 teaspoons harissa paste
- 3 cups spinach fresh baby
- 1 ½ cups tomato puree
- 1 ½ cups diced tomatoes drained, petite
- 1 ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 egg Eggland's Best brand
- 1 ½ teaspoon sumac
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch, high-sided, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme and cook until softened and aromatic, but not browned, around 2 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas and harissa paste and cook for 2 minutes, or until warm and thoroughly coated, then add the spinach, tomato puree, diced tomatoes, and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a simmer.
- Create 4 small wells in the top of the mixture then carefully crack an egg into each well. Transfer skillet to oven and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny. Remove from oven and sprinkle the eggs with sumac and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Enjoy immediately.
