A quick and easy one-pan dish featuring spicy harissa baked eggs atop a creamy white bean and tomato base, topped with tangy feta cheese. Perfect for brunch or a cozy dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) cannellini or Great Northern white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste (adjust to taste)
  • 4 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • ½ cup (about 75 g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A handful fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent and slightly golden.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Stir in smoked paprika and harissa paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes with their juices and stir together. Let simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in fresh lemon juice.
  7. Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well carefully, trying not to break the yolks.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency (12 minutes for soft yolks).
  9. A few minutes before finishing, sprinkle crumbled feta over the top and return to oven for 2 minutes to warm the cheese slightly.
  10. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve straight from the skillet with crusty bread or warm pita.

Notes

Start with 1 tablespoon of harissa if you prefer less heat and adjust after tasting. Use fresh lemon juice for best brightness. Crack eggs gently to keep yolks intact. Baking time can be adjusted for yolk consistency. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of water or tomato juice to maintain moisture.
