Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (yellow or white)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (28 ounces / 800 grams) crushed tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • Small bunch fresh parsley or cilantro, roughly chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly golden. Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking another 3-4 minutes until fragrant and tender.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Create four small wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well, ensuring the whites cook gently without scrambling.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid or large plate and reduce heat to low. Poach the eggs for 6-8 minutes, checking occasionally until whites are set and yolks remain jiggly.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread or pita.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Cover the pan while cooking eggs to trap steam and achieve silky yolks. If sauce is too acidic, balance with a pinch of sugar or splash of balsamic vinegar. For dairy-free, omit feta or substitute with nutritional yeast. Cracking eggs into a small bowl before adding to sauce helps avoid shell bits.
