- 1 cup (120g) frozen baby peas
- ⅓ cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 oval bread rolls
- ¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
- ½ cup (125ml) white vinegar
- 8 cold eggs
- 180 grams marinated persian fetta, drained
- 100 grams semi-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, chopped finely

Method
- 1Place broad beans and peas in separate heatproof bowls; cover each with boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes; drain. Peel broad beans. Place broad beans and peas in a large bowl; crush coarsely with a potato masher. Stir in mint and garlic; season to taste.

Cover pan, turn off heat; stand for 2 minutes or until egg white is set and yolks are soft. Remove eggs, one at a time, with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towel. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggs.
