A vibrant and comforting Mediterranean dish featuring eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce, perfect for brunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, letting it cook for an additional minute to awaken the spices’ flavors.
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Create small wells in the sauce using a spoon. Crack an egg into each well gently. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking—about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve warm, inviting everyone to gather around the table to share in the deliciousness.

Notes

Best served with crusty bread or pita for dipping; can add harissa or feta for extra flavor.
