Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 3-4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 white onion diced, approx 1 cup
- 1 large green bell pepper chopped
- 14 oz diced tomatoes canned
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes canned
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoons cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

- 6 egg
- 1 cup feta cheese (seasoned or unseasoned, up to you!)
- parsley minced, fresh
- naan bread homemade
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium. Add garlic, onion, and bell peppers to skillet and sauté until onions were translucent, approximately 7 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, broth, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Stir and let cook until it all comes to a simmer. Lower heat slightly and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until sauce is thickened.
- Make small wells in the sauce and gently crack an egg in each well. Top with feta. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes until whites are set and yolks are thick but runny. If you don't want your yolks runny then cook 1-2 minutes more.
- Top with parsley and serve with fresh naan. Enjoy!
