Ingredients

Scale

Base

2 seeded wraps
a little olive oil, for brushing

Toppings

1 roasted red pepper, from a jar
2 tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp chopped dill
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 eggs
65g pack rocket
½ red onion, very thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6 to get it ready for baking the wraps and later cooking the eggs.
Prepare the Wraps: Lay the seeded wraps on two baking sheets and brush them sparingly with olive oil to promote crispiness during baking.
Initial Bake: Bake the oiled wraps in the preheated oven for 3 minutes to start crisping the base.
Make the Sauce: While the wraps bake, chop the roasted red pepper and tomatoes. Combine these with tomato purée, seasoning, chopped dill, and chopped parsley to create a fresh, herb-infused sauce.
Assemble the Pizzas: Remove the wraps from the oven and turn them over. Spread the tomato and pepper sauce mixture over each wrap, being careful to leave the centre clear of any large pieces to make room for the egg.
Add the Eggs: Crack one egg into the centre of each sauce-covered wrap, ensuring it stays contained on the base.
Bake to Perfection: Return the wraps to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the egg white is just set and the tortilla edges are crispy and golden.
Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and scatter the fresh rocket and very thinly sliced red onion over the top before serving for a peppery and slightly sharp contrast.

Notes

Use seeded wraps for extra texture and flavor, but plain wraps or pita breads can work as alternatives.
If you prefer your eggs less runny, add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
Season the tomato and pepper mixture well with salt and pepper to balance the flavors.
For a gluten-free option, substitute wraps with gluten-free flatbreads.
