Step-by-Step Instructions for Chickpea Fried Eggs
  1. Begin by draining and patting dry a can of chickpeas. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the chickpeas along with chopped sundried tomatoes and a generous sprinkle of smoked paprika. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Remove half of the chickpeas from the skillet, leaving spaces to crack the eggs. Drizzle a bit of oil from the sundried tomatoes into each space created.
  3. Crack an egg carefully into each hole, cover with a lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, basting the tops with oil until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  4. Season with salt and pepper before serving immediately while the yolks are runny and the chickpeas crunchy.
