Ingredients Instructions Notes

Ingredients
  

  •  
    1 hard-boiled egg peeled and halved lengthwise; yolk and white fully set
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  •  
    2 tbsp hummus
  •  
    pita wedges for serving
  •  
    flat-leaf parsley leaves optional, for serving
  •  
    harissa optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  1. Spread the hummus onto a small plate and have the pita ready. Season both sides of the egg halves with the salt and pepper.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the egg halves in the pan with their cut sides down.
  3. Leave the eggs in place until their cut surfaces turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Lift them out with a spatula and arrange them over the hummus.
  4. Serve with pita wedges. Add parsley and harissa if using.

Notes

Start with an already hard-boiled egg. The brief skillet step browns a cooked egg; it is not a method for cooking a raw or soft-boiled egg.
The ten-minute estimate assumes the egg is already boiled and cooled. Allow extra time if preparing it from scratch.
