Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (cooked from scratch or drained and rinsed canned chickpeas), patted dry
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, grated
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, chopped
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped

Finishing

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Za’atar and/or Dukkah, for serving

Instructions

  1. Build the breakfast bowl: Divide the Greek yogurt evenly into the bottom of two serving bowls to create a creamy base. Then, top the yogurt with the cooked chickpeas, grated hard-boiled eggs, and the chopped Persian cucumbers and Roma tomatoes to add texture and freshness.
  2. Finish and serve: Drizzle a good-quality extra virgin olive oil over the bowls for richness. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and then add a generous sprinkle of za’atar or dukkah to enhance the flavors with a nutty, herby aroma. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to one night for a ready-to-eat breakfast.

Notes

  • Shop this recipe: Visit specialty stores to find quality Mediterranean ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, za’atar, and chickpeas to elevate the dish.
  • Meal prep tips: Boil eggs in advance and store unpeeled in a sealed container in the fridge. Keep rinsed chickpeas refrigerated, chop veggies fresh, and assemble bowls just before eating for maximum freshness up to 5 days.
  • Make your own dukkah: Follow my Egyptian Dukkah recipe or purchase it from Middle Eastern markets and specialty grocery stores.
  • Vegetable substitutions: Try adding sliced sweet peppers, fennel, or radish for variation and seasonal taste.
