Prep
Pistachios (if not already shelled) / Pomegranate seeds (if not already shelled) / Garlic / Dill - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating first.) Prep as directed and store separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Make herb-spice oil - Whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, and black pepper. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Make dressing - Whisk together dill, yogurt, vinegar, and honey. Season with some salt and pepper. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Heat oven to 450F / 232C. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or brush with some cooking oil (use two sheet pans if needed). Arrange pita bread in a single layer.
Transfer sheet pan to oven and toast pita on one side until it begins to turn golden, 4 to 5 minutes.
Flip pita bread so toasted side is facing down. Brush herb-spice oil over top of pita and spread with hummus. Return to the oven and continue baking just until golden, 2 to 4 minutes more.
While pita is toasting, heat a nonstick pan with cooking oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into heated oil and fry on one side for sunny-side up or flip and cook on both sides for over-easy. Season eggs with some salt and pepper as they cook.
Meanwhile, combine pistachios, pomegranate seeds, cucumbers, baby kale, and feta in a large bowl.
Just before serving, toss salad with dressing until dressed to your liking.
Serve flatbread with an egg on top and salad on the side. Enjoy!
