Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Mediterranean Flatbreads with Egg
- In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disk about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, crack an egg and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy work well). Season with salt and pepper.
- Top each flatbread with a cooked egg and sprinkle generously with fresh herbs.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a pinch of ground cumin to the dough.
- Make sure the water is warm but not hot, as too high a temperature can kill the yeast.
- Allow the flatbreads to cool slightly before topping them with eggs to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Easy Variations
- Swap the fresh herbs for your favorite greens, like spinach or arugula.
- Add crumbled feta cheese or olives on top for a Mediterranean twist.
- Experiment with different spices in the dough, such as za’atar or oregano, for varied flavor profiles.
What to Serve With It
- A simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
- Sliced tomatoes with a sprinkle of salt and olive oil.
- Hummus or tzatziki for dipping.
- Fresh fruit or a fruit salad for a refreshing side.
