Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
• 1 small, diced (optional) red pepper
• 4 slices, for serving crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and red chili flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

If using, add the diced red pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season the sauce with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and allow the sauce to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Using a spoon, make four small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 9

Remove from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley and basil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
