Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 small, diced red bell pepper
• 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 0.25 cup, sliced kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0 optional, for serving fresh crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, kalamata olives, dried oregano, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 8

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, avoiding the egg yolks if possible.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or cooked to your preferred doneness).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dish to sit for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve with crusty bread for dipping if desired.
