Ingredients

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion, diced - 1 medium (about 150g)
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Red bell pepper, diced - 1 medium (about 120g)
• Miso paste - 1 tablespoon
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400g
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Eggs - 4 large
• Avocado, sliced - 1 medium (about 150g)
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in the miso paste, canned diced tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
5. Using a spoon, create four small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve hot, topped with sliced avocado and garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.
