Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 1 large, chopped red bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 28 ounces (crushed or whole) canned tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup, chopped parsley
• 0.25 cup, crumbled (optional) feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Add the canned tomatoes and their juice to the skillet. Crush the tomatoes if using whole tomatoes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Using a spoon, make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot directly from the skillet with crusty bread for dipping.
