Cooking Steps
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and bell pepper for 5-7 minutes until softened, then stir in minced garlic and spices for one minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cook for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce and meld flavors, then season with salt and pepper.
- Create six indentations in the tomato sauce using a spoon, and carefully crack one egg into each indentation.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks are runny.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve hot directly from the skillet with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other spices.
