Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1, chopped
Garlic

Cucumber
1 large, diced
Red bell pepper

Cumin
1 teaspoon
Paprika

Feta cheese
1/2 cup, crumbled
Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  4. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to release the spices' aromas.

  6. Once the eggs are done, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping.
