Yields1 ServingCook Time10 minsTotal Time10 mins

Eggs are a staple of any cooked breakfast and are great for feeding the whole family. In Lebanon, eggs with za'atar turn breakfast into a real family event. Eat them up straight from the pan.

 3 tbsp olive oil
 5 eggs
 3 pinches zaatar
 salt
1

Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.

2

When the oil has warmed a little, gently crack five eggs into the pan.

3

Sprinkle with three large pinches of za'atar so the eggs are covered in spice. Season generously with salt.

4

Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook for 4-6 minutes until the egg whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny.

5

Remove the lid and serve the eggs still in the pan.

Serve with labneh, olives, pickled eggplants, and fresh pita bread for dipping!
