Method

  1. Roast the tomatoes

    Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 6. Put the tomatoes on a small oven tray, toss them with half the oil and season with black pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes, until softened, juicy and beginning to brown at the edges.

  2. Toast the bread

    When the tomatoes are almost ready, toast the bread and spread each slice with hummus.

  3. Fry the eggs

    Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the eggs near the end of the tomato roasting time, until the whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

  4. Assemble

    Spoon the tomatoes over the hummus toast and top with the fried eggs. Add greens, chilli flakes or smoked paprika if using.
