Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 4 slices crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced red and green bell peppers and the chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the paprika and smoked paprika over the vegetables, stirring to evenly coat them in the spices.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the tomato mixture. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (adjust cooking time for firmer yolks, if preferred).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish.

Step 9

Serve the Spanish Breakfast Eggs hot, accompanied by slices of crusty bread for dipping.
