Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- On the stovetop, heat a large oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.
- Add onion and bell pepper, and saute for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
- Add garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Stir.
- Add the whole peeled tomatoes to the pan, breaking them up a bit with the back of a wooden spoon. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. As tomatoes soften, continue breaking them up with your spoon until you have mostly crushed tomatoes and small bite sized pieces remaining.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Using the back of the spoon, create a small well in the top of the tomato mixture, Gently crack one egg into the well. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
