Soft-boiled Eggs with Za’atar Lemon Dressing

A simple and ridiculously tasty Middle Eastern-inspired Easter favorite you can throw together in about ten minutes.

Soft-boiled eggs paired with a Za’atar lemon dressing and fresh spring onions give you a tangy, bright flavor combo. A final sprinkle of Aleppo chili flakes adds gentle warmth and character.

It’s a fresh, flavorful dish that looks beautiful on the table and works for breakfast, brunch, lunch – or even dinner. Big hit with both kids and adults.

4 Eggs
1 Spring onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Za’atar
Aleppo chili flakes
Bread
Salt and pepper

Boil the eggs for about six and a half to seven and a half minutes, then cool them down in ice water. You’re aiming for soft, jammy yolks.

Cut the eggs in halves and arrange them on a platter. Sprinkle with spring onion.

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, and Za’atar to make the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the eggs. Finish with a pinch of salt and a little Aleppo chili.

Serve with your favorite bread.

Enjoy!
