Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 3 garlic minced, cloves
  • 4 tomato diced (or or 2-14 oz cans, lightly drained
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 4 egg

Instructions

  1. In a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan with a lid, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the peppers and garlic, and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and chili powder. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. (Taste the sauce at this point and adjust for salt and spice, as desired.)
  3. Using the back of a spoon, make four craters in the mixture, large enough to hold an egg. Crack one egg into each of the craters.
  4. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the eggs have set.
  5. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.
