  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, then remove half of the chickpeas to create wells for the eggs. Drizzle a splash of sundried tomato oil into each hole.
  3. Crack an egg into each well, cook for 3-5 minutes, basting the tops with warm oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the egg and chickpea mixture to plates and enjoy immediately, garnished with additional sundried tomatoes if desired.
