Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe frying pan over medium heat.

2

Add the diced onion and capsicum. Cook for 6–8 minutes until softened.

3

Add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and chilli flakes. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

5

Make 4 wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.

6

Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

7

Scatter over crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve straight from the pan with crusty bread.
