Crunchy toasted pine nuts and lemony sumac are great partners for eggs scrambled softly in extra-virgin olive oil.

Nuts in your eggs? That's nuts! Read the Whole Story
  • Eggs cooked gently in olive oil stay creamy and tender.
  • Lemony sumac and toasty pine nuts give the eggs tons of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (see note above)
  • 1 teaspoon ground sumac
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Flatbread such as pita or lavash, warm

Directions

  1. 1.

    Gently beat eggs with a big pinch of salt and some pepper in a medium bowl with a fork. Heat oil in a medium non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until barely set and still slightly runny (eggs will continue to cook after removing from pan), about 1 minute. Immediately transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with pine nuts, sumac, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately with flatbread.
