Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Feta cheese crumbled (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  2. Stir in the diced red and yellow bell peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Create four small wells in the tomato-pepper sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.
