Ingredients

2 pieces lavash

1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 Anaheim chile pepper, seeded, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Kosher salt

1 pound heirloom tomatoes (1 to 2 large), diced

2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper, plus a pinch 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

8 large eggs, beaten

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

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.
