”For me brunch will always include eggs, and this is one of my favourite ways to cook them. Strapatsada is traditional Greek-style scrambled eggs with tomatoes. For my version, I slow-roast the tomatoes for added sweetness, which is glorious.” – Georgina Hayden

Method
- Heat the oven to 140°C/120°C fan/gas 1. Halve 14 of the tomatoes horizontally and put cut-side up in a roasting tin. Put a slice of garlic on each tomato, then sprinkle with the oregano and oil. Season well with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 1½ hours until soft and just caramelised (see Make Ahead).
- When ready to make the strapatsada, put a large frying pan on a low-medium heat and drizzle in a little olive oil. Add the sliced onion with a splash of red wine vinegar and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, then coarsely grate in the remaining tomato, discarding the skin. Cook for 5 more minutes until softened, then add the slow-roasted tomatoes to the pan too.
- Whisk the eggs in a jug, season well with salt and black pepper, pour into the pan and scramble gently into the onion tomato mixture.
- Meanwhile, put the rocket in a large bowl, add the feta and basil leaves, season well and drizzle in the lemon juice. Griddle the pitta breads.
- Plate up the warm pitta breads and top each with the tomato/eggs. Sprinkle over the feta mixture and aleppo pepper, then serve.

Full of flavour, with sweetness from the tomatoes and tang from the feta. I used cooking spray instead of olive oil for a mid week breakfast.
