Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
4-6 large eggs
Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, and ground cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Pour in crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Using the back of a spoon, make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Serve hot with crusty bread or pita.
