Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper and cook for 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes and stir well. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes until slightly thickened. Create small wells in the sauce and crack eggs into each well. Cover and cook for 5–8 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain slightly soft. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top during the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep sauce at a gentle simmer to prevent overcooking eggs. Adjust chili flakes for desired spice level. Store leftover sauce separately and reheat gently before adding fresh eggs.
