Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, releasing a sweet aroma.
  • Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, with spices blooming in the oil.
  • Pour in crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, turning a deeper red.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Make four wells in the sauce using a spoon.
  • Crack eggs into the wells, ensuring yolks remain intact. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta over the sauce and eggs, allowing it to warm but not melt completely.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, adding a burst of color and freshness.
  • Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita, perfect for scooping up the sauce and eggs.
