A one-pan Mediterranean dish featuring eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, topped with creamy feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic along with the paprika and cumin; let it cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes, thickening to your preference.
  5. Create small wells in the sauce and crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until just set, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, vegan feta can be substituted. You can replace bell pepper with zucchini or use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.
