Ingredients
Method
- Cut any thick Broccolini® stems in half lengthways. Leave thinner stems whole.
- Heat a lightly oiled, large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Scatter the tomatoes around the eggs in pan. Season with pepper. Cook for 3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking and tomatoes are slightly blistered.
- Meanwhile, steam or microwave the Broccolini®, until just tender. To microwave Broccolini®, place in the Broccolini® in a single layer on a microwave safe plate with the flowers facing towards the centre. Cover with damp paper towel or a lid. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 2 minutes or until bright green and just tender.
- Split the piece of Turkish bread in half horizontally to give two thin layers. Lightly toast.
- Spread the ricotta between both slices of Turkish bread. Top with pepper strips, tomatoes, Broccolini® and egg. Sprinkle with dukkah. Serve.
