Instructions
- Heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick). Sauté the diced onion and pepper until softened and browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic (2 cloves), ground cumin (1 teaspoon), smoked paprika (1/2 teaspoon), crushed red pepper flakes (1/4 teaspoon), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Stir to coat and sauté for about 30 seconds more, until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes (28 oz.) and chopped cilantro or parsley (1/4 cup) and stir together. Bring to a gentle simmer, and turn the heat to low (or off momentarily, if the tomatoes are splattering a lot).
- Use a spoon to form 6 wells in the tomato sauce mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and simmer until eggs are set (about 5-8 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolks).
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta (4 oz.) and additional chopped cilantro/parsley, as well as more salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper if desired. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes
- If you don't have a lid for your large skillet, you can finish cooking it in your oven, as long as your skillet is oven-safe. Just crack eggs into the wells and transfer to a 375 degree F oven for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are set to your preference.
- To use a 10-inch skillet, use the same amount of ingredients except 4 eggs instead of 6. Anything smaller than that and you'll probably have to cut the recipe in half (use the slider bar on the servings above to help out with this).
- For a paleo or dairy free version, omit the feta cheese.
- Ingredient Substitutions: Chili powder or regular paprika can be used instead of smoked paprika; cayenne pepper can be used instead of crushed red pepper (or omitted for a mild version); goat cheese, queso fresco, or cotija cheese can be substituted for feta; canned diced tomatoes or chopped whole tomatoes may be substituted for crushed.
