Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0 for serving crusty bread or pita

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices. Stir well to combine, then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Using the back of a spoon, create 4 small wells in the sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or to your desired doneness).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
