Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes or until becoming translucent. Add the bell pepper, garlic and salt and continue sautéing for 3 more minutes or until vegetables have softened.

Add the smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and sauté for 1 minute to toast the herbs. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes and stir the sauce until combined. Simmer the sauce over medium low for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.

Using the back of a large spoon make 4 indents spaced out in the sauce and gently crack eggs into these “wells”. Cook the eggs and sauce for 5-6 minutes or until the whites are set and the eggs yolks are still jiggly. If you want your egg yolks fully cooked through cook for a total of 8-9 minutes.

Serve in bowls with toast and sliced avocado if desired or eat right out of the skillet like we do.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Create a Sauce Well 🌀
Let your tomato sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes before adding eggs to develop deep flavor and ensure the sauce is thick enough to hold eggs without them sinking to the bottom.
Toast Your Spices First 🌶️
Bloom the cumin and coriander in hot oil for 30 seconds before adding onions and garlic to unlock their essential oils and intensify their aromatic flavors exponentially.
Gentle Egg Poaching Technique 🥚
Create small indentations in the sauce with the back of a spoon before cracking eggs into them, and cover the pan for the last 2-3 minutes to ensure whites set while yolks stay runny.
Char Your Peppers 🫑
Dice and cook bell peppers over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until the edges caramelize slightly, adding sweetness and depth that complements the spices beautifully.
Fresh Herb Timing 🌿
Reserve half your cilantro or parsley to stir in raw just before serving, preserving bright flavor that contrasts with the warm spiced tomato sauce.
