Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 large onion, sliced into 3/-4-inch-thick half moons
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • About 1 1/2 cups (14 ounces/400 grams) Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane
  • 2 teaspoons tahini
  • 2 ounces (55 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo chile flakes
  • 4 large eggs, poached
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish
  • Mint and cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toss together the tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt on the prepped half-sheet pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are somewhat shrunken, and the onion is soft and beginning to brown.
  3. Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, garlic, and tahini. Season to taste with salt.
  4. Melt the butter in a small pan, add the paprika and chile flakes, cook until fragrant, then season to taste with salt.
  5. To serve, divide the yogurt between four bowls, top each with some of the vegetables, and 1 poached egg. Sprinkle the egg with flaky sea salt (kosher is fine here too), drizzle with the spiced butter, and sprinkle with mint and cilantro.
Notes
All of the elements can be made ahead of time and reheated, making this a great make ahead breakfast.
