A vibrant Mediterranean dish featuring poached eggs in a rich spiced tomato sauce with feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne, or to taste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole plum tomatoes with their juices, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
  • 5 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 6 large eggs
  • Chopped cilantro, for serving
  • Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until they are very soft, about 20 minutes.
  4. Once the vegetables are tender, add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cumin, paprika, and cayenne, cooking for about 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the coarsely chopped tomatoes and add 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Allow the mixture to simmer until the tomatoes have thickened, about 10 minutes.
  8. Gently stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
  9. Using a spoon, create wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into them. Season the eggs with additional salt and pepper.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are just set, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  11. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with your favorite hot sauce.

Notes

For extra depth of flavor, sauté the onions and peppers longer until they caramelize. Consider adding different vegetables or spices for variations.
