Green shakshuka with za’atar pita chips

This was inspired by my trips to Italy where I often had a slice with a steaming cortado. Use whatever jam you fancy.
1. Combine the flour, icing sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, then add the eggs. Cut in the butter and eggs using a butter knife until a dough forms. Wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 28 cm tart case and roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. Cover the bottom of the tart case with half the dough and prick with fork. Spread the jam onto the base.
3. Cut the remaining dough into strips and create a lattice on the jam using the strips of dough. Brush with milk and bake for 30–35 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
