Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook gently for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Use a spoon to create four small wells in the tomato sauce.
  7. Carefully crack one egg into each well.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, based on your preference.
  9. Remove from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a 10-inch oven-safe skillet if you prefer to finish the eggs in the oven (375°F for 5-7 minutes).
  • Serve this dish hot with crusty bread for dipping into the sauce and runny yolks.
  • Taste the sauce before adding eggs; adjust salt or spices as needed.
