Description

Fluffy homemade focaccia topped with baked eggs, juicy cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fragrant rosemary. A golden, olive oil kissed breakfast bread that is hearty, savory, and perfect for brunch or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with olive oil. Press the risen dough evenly into the pan.
  5. Use your fingers to create deep dimples across the surface. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Crack the eggs into separate dimples. Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, rosemary, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper over the top.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bread is golden and the egg whites are fully set.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • Allow the dough to fully rise for the best airy texture.
  • If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F to restore crispness.
