Instructions
- 1
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
~3 min - 2
Finely chop the fresh mint and parsley leaves.

In a small bowl, combine the chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
~1 min - 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
~2 min - 5
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to blister and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

While the eggs are cooking, sprinkle the sumac generously over the yolks and whites of the eggs.
~1 min - 9
Once the eggs are cooked, carefully slide them onto serving plates alongside the blistered cherry tomatoes.

Drizzle the prepared herb and lemon mixture over the eggs and tomatoes.

Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture if you enjoy a hint of spice.
- Serve immediately with warm, crusty bread for dipping into the rich egg yolks and tomato juices.
