Rosemaryfennel chickpeas with fried eggs

The best parts of porchetta -- an Italian pork roast -- are the darkly crisped skin and the punchy seasoning, often rosemary, fennel, garlic and red pepper. This 20-minute vegetarian recipe channels those pleasures into a super-fast, high-protein chickpea and egg skillet that’s made from pantry in
