Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pepper and onion, and mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 mins until soft and tender. Add the tomatoes, mix well and cook for 3-4 mins until just soft. 
  2. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season and whisk together. 
  3. Add the garlic, cumin, chilli flakes and a good pinch of salt and pepper to the pan. Mix well and cook for 10 secs, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. 
  4. Pour the eggs into the pan and mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins until just set. Crumble 40g of feta into the pan and add most of the parsley. Mix well. 
  5. Pop the toast onto 4 plates and top with the eggs. Scatter with the remaining feta and parsley. Serve with extra chilli flakes, if you like.
