Ingredients
2 slices thick-cut bread
2 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 bell pepper, diced (red or yellow)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Optional: pinch of chili flakes
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add diced bell pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes until tender.
3. Stir in garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. Let bloom for 30 seconds.
4. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Toast bread slices in a toaster or skillet until golden and crisp.
6. Spoon tomato mixture on each toast. Create a well in the center with a spoon.
7. Crack one egg into each well. Place on a baking sheet.
8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain soft.
9. Garnish with fresh herbs and chili flakes if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Use thick-cut, sturdy bread like sourdough or multigrain to prevent sogginess.
Keep an eye while baking so the yolks don’t overcook.
You can make the tomato base a day ahead and store it in the fridge for quick assembly.
