Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Slice the onion, bell pepper, and garlic cloves. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and finely chop the cilantro.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add shallots and bell pepper; cook stirring occasionally until slightly tender.
- Add garlic and continue cooking for 2 minutes more. Now stir in the chopped tomatoes and all the spices.
- Mix well and cook until tomatoes are softened, mash with the wooden spoon to form a thick sauce, then let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
- Next, use a large spoon to make small wells in the sauce. Crack the eggs into each well. Season the eggs with some salt and pepper. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
- Now transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until eggs are done to your liking.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and enjoy!

Notes
- Shallots: You can also use finely chopped yellow onion.
- Red bell pepper: You can also use yellow or orange bell peppers.
- Sweet paprika: If you prefer a spicy base, you can use chipotle powder instead.
- Canned whole tomatoes: You can also use diced canned tomatoes.
- Feta: Leave off the feta to make the dish dairy-free.
- If you like your eggs more done, increase the baking time slightly.
