🧂 Ingredients

  • Tomatoes 4
  • Olive Oil 2 tbs
  • Onion 1 Diced
  • Red Pepper 1 sliced
  • Green Pepper 1 sliced
  • Garlic 3 Cloves Crushed
  • Cumin 1 tsp
  • Paprika 1 tsp
  • Salt 3/4 teaspoon
  • Chili Powder 1/2 teaspoon
  • Eggs 4

👩‍🍳 Instructions

In a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan with a lid, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the peppers and garlic, and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and chili powder. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. (Taste the sauce at this point and adjust for salt and spice, as desired.) Using the back of a spoon, make four craters in the mixture, large enough to hold an egg. Crack one egg into each of the craters. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the eggs have set. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.
