Prep 10 minCook 25 minTotal 35 minServes 3

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • 1 × 400 g can chopped tomatoes
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tbsp parsley or coriander, chopped
  • 50 g feta, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the onion and pepper in olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and spices; cook 1 minute.
  3. Add tomatoes and salt; simmer until thickened.
  4. Make 6 wells, crack in the eggs, cover and cook until the whites set but the yolks stay runny.
  5. Scatter herbs and feta. Serve from the pan.

Tips

  • Take it off the heat when the whites are just set; the hot pan keeps cooking the yolks.
