Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 8 large mixed olives, stoned and torn in half (it just looks better)
  • 6 baby plum tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • a pinch of smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 100g feta cheese
  • a few sprigs of fresh mint

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Prepare all the vegetables and have them ready to go.
  3. Stir the honey and smoked paprika into the oil and set aside.
  4. Melt the butter in an ovenproof non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Season the eggs. When the butter starts to foam, add the eggs to the pan. Stir and scrape the eggs around the pan with a spatula for 2 minutes, then pat them down and allow the bottom to set while you put the veg on top.
  5. Working quickly, crumble over the feta cheese, then drizzle over the smoked paprika oil. Put the pan in the oven for 1 minute to warm everything through – you want to keep the eggs soft and silky.
  6. Serve in the pan with a scattering of fresh mint leaves on top.
