Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the oiled sides of the 4 bread slices with extra virgin olive oil and place them in the pan, oiled side down.
2. Toast about 1 minute, until the bottom is golden brown. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top, flip the slices and toast about another minute. Batch if needed. Move the bread to a plate.
3. Take the pan off the heat for about 2 minutes to cool slightly.
4. Return the pan to medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. When it shimmers, add the chickpeas, minced garlic, spring onions and chopped tomato. Season with kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes until warmed through. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
5. Turn off the heat. Mash the chickpeas gently with the back of a fork or a potato masher.
6. Spread the mash over the toasted bread. Top with the sliced hard-boiled eggs, garnish with parsley and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
