What you'll need to do

Time required: 25 minutes

1| Grab a bowl and toss in the flour with a pinch of sea salt. Add 4 tablespoons of yogurt and a splash (1 tablespoon) of olive oil. Now, work it all together with your hands until you’ve got a nice ball of dough.

2| Split the dough in half, then roll each piece out on a flour-dusted surface until it’s about as thick as a good book coverjust under 1/4 inch (or about 1/2 cm for my metric friends).

3| Heat up a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pop one flatbread into the pan and let it cook for around 3 minutes, flipping halfway, until it's beautifully golden. Keep it cozy by wrapping it in a clean tea towel while you repeat with the second flatbread.

4| Now, drizzle another tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet. Crack in your eggs and cover with a lid. Cook 'em to your likingwhether you’re a sunny-side-up fan or like a nice runny yolk.

5| Spread the mango chutney and the rest of the yogurt over the flatbreads, then top with those perfectly cooked eggs.

6| Finally, scatter those sliced chilis over the top, and hit it with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Done!

Enjoy your delicious, spicy, eggy creation!

Recipe Swaps & Creative Tweaks

1| Flour Swap: If you don't have self-raising flour, just use all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder. You could even experiment with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and extra fiber.

2| Dairy-Free Option: Sub in a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond to make the flatbreads dairy-free. The texture will still be soft and delicious!

3| Spice It Up: No fresh chili on hand? Try using a pinch of chili flakes, sriracha, or even a dash of hot sauce for that spicy kick.

4| Egg-Free Version: For a vegan twist, replace the eggs with scrambled tofu or your favorite plant-based egg substitute. You'll still get a satisfying protein hit.

5| Mango Chutney Alternative: If mango chutney isn’t your thing, you can swap it out for apricot jam, peach preserves, or even a tangy tomato relish for a different but equally tasty flavor combo.

6| Extra Toppings: Get creative! Add some avocado slices, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime on top for a fresh, zesty finish.

7| Make It a Wrap: If you prefer, you can turn this flatbread into a wrap by rolling up the ingredients instead of serving it open-faced. Easy to eat on the go!

Some useful tips for success

1| Don’t Overwork the Dough: When mixing the dough, bring it together just until it forms a ball. Over-kneading can make the flatbread tough instead of soft and tender.

2| Perfect Flatbread Thickness: Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickany thinner and they may turn crispy, any thicker and they might not cook evenly. Aim for that sweet spot!

3| Hot Pan is Key: Make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the flatbreads. A hot pan will give them those lovely golden spots and cook them through quickly.

4| Cook Eggs to Your Liking: Whether you like your eggs with runny yolks or fully cooked, control the heat and cover with a lid to get the texture you want. It’s all about your preference!

5| Adjust the Spice: If you're not a fan of too much heat, you can reduce the amount of chili or remove the seeds, which is where most of the spice comes from.

6| Warm Your Flatbreads: Keep your first flatbread warm by wrapping it in a clean tea towel while you cook the second one. This way, everything stays warm and ready to go when you're assembling the dish.

7| Prep Ahead: You can prepare the flatbreads ahead of time and reheat them in the skillet or oven when you're ready to serve. Perfect if you're in a rush!

8| Use a Non-Stick Skillet: To make things easier and avoid sticking, a good non-stick pan will ensure the flatbreads and eggs cook without any fuss.

Some serving suggestions

1| Serve with a Side Salad: Pair your flatbreads with a fresh side saladthink arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a light lemon vinaigrette. It adds a refreshing crunch and balances out the richness of the eggs and chutney.

2| Top with Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley on top adds a burst of color and a touch of freshness. Plus, it takes the presentation up a notch!

3| Add a Squeeze of Lime: If you’re feeling zesty, a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top will bring out the flavors even more, giving a nice contrast to the sweetness of the mango chutney.

4| Serve with Avocado: Creamy avocado slices would be a delicious addition on top or on the side, adding a rich, buttery texture that pairs well with the spiciness of the chili.

Some storage suggestions

• Room Temperature: If you plan to eat the flatbreads within a few hours, you can keep them at room temperature. Just cover them with a clean tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Refrigeration: For longer storage, place the flatbreads in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap, then store them in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 2–3 days.
• Freezing: To keep them longer, you can freeze the flatbreads. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to 2 months in the freezer. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.
• Reheating: To reheat, pop them in a hot skillet for a couple of minutes on each side until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, wrapped in foil to keep them soft.
• Storing Toppings Separately: If you’ve prepared any toppings like eggs, mango chutney, or yogurt, store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge to keep everything fresh. Add them just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
