Instructions
- 01
Heat the olive oil in a large lidded skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red peppers and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne, if using, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- 02
Add the tomatoes, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Simmer over low heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- 03
Make 6 wells in the sauce and crack one egg into each well. Cover and cook until the eggs are set, 4 to 8 minutes. The timing will depend on how runny or firm you like your eggs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with the parsley and feta. Serve with pita.
