POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO & FETA

“When cooking at home, I like to use a tagine dish. It gives extra flavor to the dish, and using the high lid while cooking the eggs creates the perfect texture. Adding mint and za’atar with some good quality extra vrgin olive oil brings the flavors together and elevates this breakfast dish. For added heat, top with thinly sliced chilli,” suggests Romuald Feger, chef of Amaranto restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.
