⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the chickpeas and sprinkle with the smoked paprika, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook the chickpeas for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and golden.
  2. 2.
    While the chickpeas are cooking, crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined. This will ensure a uniform texture in your scrambled eggs.
  3. 3.
    Push the chickpeas to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side. Allow them to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves until they are softly scrambled. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs from becoming rubbery.
  4. 4.
    Once the eggs are just set, mix them with the chickpeas on the skillet, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors thoroughly.
  5. 5.
    Remove from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. The feta will add a creamy, tangy element that balances the dish. Serve immediately for the best texture and enjoy!
