Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper (seeded and sliced longways)
- 1/2 yellow onion (chopped (1/3 cup))
- 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder dark
- 1/2 smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 4 egg
Garnish
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled, or goat cheese
- 1/4 cup parsley roughly chopped or cilantro
- baguette toasted or pita bread toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 3 tbsp of olive oil, chopped onions, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 20 minutes until peppers soften. Add the spices: dark chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and lower the heat to simmer. Stir and allow sauce to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Create 4 small wells in the tomato sauce and crack the eggs into the wells. Place skillet into the oven and bake the eggs for 8-10 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking (they will continue to cook when you remove from the oven so don't overcook).
- Remove from the oven and top with crumbled cheese and herb garnish of parsley or cilantro. Serve with toasted bread or pita to scoop up all the delicious sauces.
Notes
- You can also finish cooking the eggs on the stove top. Return the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 7-9 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Cast iron + tomatoes: As long as your cast iron is well seasoned, you will be fine cooking acidic ingredients in it. If you are still uncomfortable you can use an enameled cast iron, which will protect the iron or you can use another oven safe skillet for the recipe.
