Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 large eggs
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish
Crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Using the back of a spoon, create six wells in the tomato sauce.
Carefully crack one egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
For a richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste with the crushed tomatoes.
You can add crumbled feta cheese or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
