Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon chili powder

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

6 large eggs

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking for 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Add garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the can of whole peeled tomatoes along with the juice. Break the tomatoes down with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  4. Make small wells in the sauce with the back of the spoon, then crack an egg into each well. Cover the pan and cook the eggs for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  5. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and parsley. Serve warm with pita or avocado slices if desired.

Notes

  • Cheese: Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for richness.
  • Spicy: Increase chili powder or add fresh chili peppers for extra heat.
  • Vegetables: Add spinach, zucchini, or eggplant for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Serve with crusty bread or pita to soak up the sauce.
