If eggs on toast are your everyday breakfast, a little sumac adds a lemony finish without extra liquid.

Here’s how.

  1. 1

    Mix the yogurt

    Stir parsley and salt into yogurt. Put tomatoes alongside your plates.

  2. 2

    Toast the bread

    Toast bread until crisp. Spread a little herbed yogurt over each slice.

  3. 3

    Cook the eggs

    Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Crack in eggs and cook until whites and yolks are firm, turning or covering briefly to finish the tops.

  4. 4

    Add the tart finish

    Put eggs on toast and scatter with sumac. Serve with tomatoes and the remaining yogurt.

Add sumac at the table to keep its tart flavour clear.
