For this egg dish we start by cooking down onions, peppers and tomatoes until meltingly soft and season with smoky Aleppo pepper and dried oregano. This mixture is stirred into soft-cooked scrambled eggs and topped with crumbled feta. Serve with thin toasty lavash.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the lavash on a rimmed baking sheet until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, Anaheim pepper and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook until they are broken down and the skillet is dry, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper, the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper; stir until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until soft, creamy curds form, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then fold in the tomato mixture. Cook until the flavors are blended, about 2 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic in a small skillet over medium-high until the garlic begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush the garlic oil on the lavash.
  5. Divide the eggs among plates and top with the crumbled feta, chives and a pinch of Aleppo pepper. Serve with the lavash.
