Instructions
- Cook and prepare eggs: Boil the eggs to your preferred doneness—typically about 7-9 minutes for hard-boiled. Once cooked, peel the eggs carefully and set aside.
- Spread hummus: Take a large shallow bowl or pasta bowl and evenly spread 1/4 cup of hummus on one corner of the bowl’s bottom, leaving space around the edges for other ingredients. Use the back of a spoon to create small wells or indentations in the hummus for olive oil pooling.
- Drizzle olive oil and season: Pour a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil into the hummus wells and over the surface. Sprinkle additional dried oregano and Aleppo pepper on top to enhance flavor.
- Toss feta cheese with seasoning: In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese with 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, mixing gently until evenly coated.
- Arrange vegetables: Neatly place thinly sliced Persian cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes around the edges of the hummus, framing the bowl with fresh vegetables.
- Assemble bowl: Sprinkle the seasoned feta cheese over the vegetables and hummus. Garnish with fresh mint leaves scattered on top. Finally, add the boiled eggs on top as the central protein component.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast bowl immediately alongside warmed pita bread, perfect for dipping into the hummus and scooping up the ingredients for a delicious bite.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat feta cheese.
- Adjust the amount of Aleppo pepper to control spiciness according to your taste.
- If Aleppo pepper is unavailable, substitute with mild chili flakes or smoked paprika.
- To save time, boil eggs in advance and refrigerate until needed.
- Warm pita bread in oven or on a skillet for best flavor and softness.
