Ingredients
Scale
- 125 grams (4.4 oz) Greek yogurt or fromage blanc
- 1 large egg
- 15 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp tahini
- ½ lemon (juice and zest)
- Fresh mint, chopped
- Fleur de sel (a pinch)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Warm the oven to 190°C, preparing for tomato transformation.
- Roast Tomatoes: Halve cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, brown sugar, and fleur de sel, then roast for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and slightly blistered.
- Prepare Egg: Bring water to a boil, gently lower egg, and cook for 6-7 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then carefully peel while maintaining its delicate structure.
- Create Yogurt Base: Whisk Greek yogurt with tahini, incorporating lemon zest, juice, and a touch of salt to develop a creamy, tangy foundation.
- Assemble Dish: Spread yogurt mixture across a serving bowl, artfully arrange roasted tomatoes, and position the soft-boiled egg alongside. Garnish with freshly ground pepper, sesame seeds, and chopped mint leaves to elevate the visual and flavor profile.
Notes
- Caramelize with Care: Ensure cherry tomatoes are uniformly halved and generously coated with olive oil and brown sugar for even, rich glazing.
- Perfect Egg Technique: Use a timer and ice bath to achieve a soft-boiled egg with a perfectly runny golden center without overcooking.
- Yogurt Base Mastery: Whisk tahini and Greek yogurt thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy foundation that complements the roasted tomatoes.
- Herb and Seed Finishing: Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh mint just before serving to add texture, nutty flavor, and a bright herbal note.
