    Ingredients

    • 1 red onion, finely chopped
    • 1 carrot, finely chopped
    • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
    • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tbsp ground cumin
    • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
    • ½ cup low-fat natural yoghurt
    • 1 tbs cumin seeds
    • pinch of salt

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced). 
    2. Step 2

      Heat one tbs oil in a medium oven-proof frypan over medium heat. Cook onion, carrot and celery for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for a further minute or until fragrant. Stir through paprika and ground cumin.
    3. Step 3

      Increase heat to high. Add tomatoes and bring mixture to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced. Remove frypan from the heat.
    4. Step 4

      Make four indentations in the mixture. Carefully crack eggs in. Transfer frypan to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
    5. Step 5

      Meanwhile, mix flour, yoghurt, cumin seeds and salt in a large bowl. Use a spatula initially, then your hands, to bring the dough together. Divide the mixture into four rounds and dust each with a little extra flour.
    6. Step 6

      Heat remaining one tbs oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Cook flatbreads for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden brown.
    7. Step 7

      Remove baked eggs from the oven and serve with warm flatbread.
