Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Eggs:
- 1 large egg
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) Greek yogurt or fromage blanc
Vegetables & Seasonings:
- 15 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- A pinch of fleur de sel
- Juice and zest from ½ a lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish & Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon tahini
- Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C, creating an ideal environment for transforming cherry tomatoes into caramelized gems.
- Slice cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them in a baking dish, generously coating with olive oil, brown sugar, and delicate fleur de sel.
- Roast the tomatoes for 15-20 minutes, watching them transform into richly glazed, slightly blistered morsels.
- Meanwhile, prepare a pot of water and gently lower an egg into rapidly boiling liquid, cooking for approximately 6-7 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency.
- Immediately transfer the egg to an ice bath, halting the cooking process and ensuring a perfectly soft center.
- Carefully peel the egg, maintaining its pristine shape and delicate membrane.
- Whisk Greek yogurt with tahini, incorporating lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and a subtle hint of salt to create a creamy, tangy base.
- Spread the yogurt mixture elegantly across a serving bowl, creating a smooth canvas for the remaining ingredients.
- Nestle the caramelized tomatoes atop the yogurt, allowing their warm juices to mingle with the creamy surface.
- Gently place the halved soft-boiled egg alongside the tomatoes, its golden yolk promising rich, velvety flavor.
- Finish the dish with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper, a scattering of nutty sesame seeds, and a flourish of chopped mint leaves for a burst of herbal freshness.
Notes
- Caramelize tomatoes first to develop deep, sweet flavor profiles that complement the creamy yogurt base.
- Use precise egg timing for perfectly soft, runny yolks that create luxurious sauce-like texture when broken.
- Layer components strategically, starting with smooth tahini yogurt, then adding roasted tomatoes and carefully placed soft-boiled egg for visual and taste complexity.
