Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1, diced red bell pepper
1/2, finely chopped yellow onion
1 can (14 oz) canned diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
4 eggs
2 tbsp, chopped fresh cilantro
4 small pita bread

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced red bell pepper and 1/2 finely chopped yellow onion, cooking for 8 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Step 2: Stir in 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Simmer uncovered for 12 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Use a spoon to create four wells in the sauce. Crack 4 eggs into the wells. Cover the skillet and cook for 7 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and serve immediately with warm pita bread for dipping.
