Ingredients

Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1 medium, chopped)
Red bell pepper (1, diced)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon (adjust to taste))

Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Create small wells in the tomato sauce using the back of a spoon and gently crack an egg into each well.

Once cooked, sprinkle the dish with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
