Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

Method

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped yellow onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
  2. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and add granulated sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Create 6 small wells in the sauce. Crack 1 egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  5. Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with crusty bread.
