Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced onion
• 1 large, diced red bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 14-ounce can canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 loaf, for serving (optional) crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, paprika, ground cumin, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, then simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Using the back of a spoon, create small wells in the sauce. Gently crack an egg into each well.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (adjust time if you prefer fully cooked yolks).

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the dish, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve hot, directly from the skillet, with crusty bread for dipping.
