Lemon juiceA squeeze

Method

Lower the eggs into boiling water for seven minutes, then cool them under the tap and peel.
Toast the pitta until it puffs, then cut across the top and open the pocket.
Spread the hummus inside, slide in the sliced eggs, cucumber and tomato, and finish with the za'atar and lemon.

Worth knowing

Seven minutes gives a yolk that is just set and still soft in the centre. It holds together in a pocket where a six-minute egg leaks.
Hummus is 17 g of fat per 100 g, so 40 g is weighed rather than scooped. It is the second biggest share of the 18 g of fat, after the yolks.
