• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups, chopped spinach
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
• 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 diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow to cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer fully cooked yolks, extend the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro or parsley over the dish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful Ojo Domingo!
