Ingredient Breakdown
- 1 pound cherry tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sweet white wine vinegar
- Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or chile flakes
- 8 oz hummus
- 4 to 6 eggs
Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients lined up, let’s dive into the fun part, cooking! This part is where the magic happens.
Preheat the oven and prepare the tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grab a baking sheet (like a half-sheet pan) and toss your 1 pound of cherry tomatoes onto it. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with a couple pinches of kosher salt and black pepper. Give them a good toss. Honestly, just let them get coated and cozy!
Roast the tomatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let them roast for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re bursting and lightly caramelized. Watch out for that amazing smell, you’ll want to breathe it in all day!
Prepare your egg poaching setup: While those tomatoes are doing their thing, let’s get your eggs ready. Fill a medium saucepan with water, about halfway should do it. Add a splash of white wine vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Poach the eggs: Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin and, oh! here’s a trick I always use to keep things neat: swirl the simmering water with a spoon to create a little whirlpool effect. Then, gently slide the egg in. Repeat this for however many you can fit comfortably in your pot, leaving space in between. Poach them for about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or a bit longer if you like them firmer.
Get the plated hummus ready: While the eggs are poaching, grab a serving plate and spread 8 oz of hummus on the bottom, make a nice little nest for those eggs to rest in. Sprinkle some freshly chopped basil and the 1/2 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper (or flakes) over the hummus for good measure.
Finalize the tomatoes: Once the tomatoes are bursting, remove them from the oven and drizzle with a touch more olive oil and the 1 tablespoon of sweet white wine vinegar. Oh, and add in some chopped fresh basil for that pop of freshness.
Assemble and serve: Carefully scoop those poached eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon, letting excess water drip off. Place the eggs on top of the hummus, then add the blistered tomatoes right around. A sprinkle of black pepper on top might do wonders for this final show!
Enjoy! Grab some crusty bread or pita to scoop everything up, and dive right in!

Serving and Storage Tips
When it comes to serving, I recommend adding some crusty bread or soft pita for scooping! It’s all about getting those bites of creamy hummus, eggs, and sweet tomatoes.
Storage
If you have leftovers (which you might, but probably not), you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just know that the eggs will lose their lovely poached texture, becoming firmer, still tasty though!
Reheating
To reheat, you can pop everything in the microwave, but be cautious with the eggs! Just warm them enough to take the chill off, maybe around 30 seconds. Or better yet, reheat it gently in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Freezer Friendly
Honestly, this dish is not ideal for freezing since the texture will change, especially with the eggs and hummus. But hey, you can definitely freeze roasted tomatoes ahead of time!
