step 1
Heat a splash of oil in a large, deep lidded frying pan over a medium heat and add the garlic (4 cloves). Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant then stir in the chilli flakes (1/2 tsp) and passata (500 g). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the red peppers (100 g) then simmer for 15 minutes, until reduced.
step 2
Pre-heat the grill to medium.
step 3
Stir ¾ of the garlic butter (30 g) into the tomato sauce. Make four wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs (4). Cover the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
step 4
Spread the remaining butter (10 g) over the Greek flatbreads (2) and scatter each with a few drops of water, then pop under the grill for 2 minutes. Remove and slice.
step 5
While the eggs are cooking, heat a small splash of oil in a separate griddle pan over a medium heat and add the halloumi slices (250 g). Pan-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Nestle the halloumi slices into the pan with the eggs and warm through for 2 minutes. Scatter with the parsley (5 g). Serve with the flatbreads.
