Ingredients

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Eggs - 4 large
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Avocado - 1, sliced (for serving)
• Crusty bread - for serving

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Create small wells in the sauce with a spoon and carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
5. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese.
6. Serve hot with slices of avocado and crusty bread for dipping.
