Method

  1. Prepare: wash the onion4 and pepper; peel the garlic5; dice the onion into 1 cm cubes and cut the pepper into 1 cm strips; finely chop the garlic.

  2. Heat a skillet about 26 cm in diameter over medium heat, add oil, and sauté the onion4 and pepper for 6 minutes until golden, stirring.

  3. Add the garlic5, cumin, and paprika; sauté 1–2 minutes over medium heat until fragrant.

  4. Pour in the tomatoes, crush them with a spoon, season with salt; simmer for 8 minutes over medium heat until the sauce slightly thickens.

  5. Make wells with a spoon, crack the eggs1 into each well; cover the pan and cook on low heat for 5–6 minutes, until the whites set and the yolks are soft.

  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cilantro10; serve with bread, arranging slices around the pan.

Tips

Why it works
Sauté the onion and pepper for 6 minutes to remove moisture and develop sweetness before adding garlic, which burns quickly at high heat.
Substitutions
Use canned diced tomatoes (200g drained) instead of fresh; swap cumin for ½ tsp coriander seeds if unavailable.
Common mistakes
Overcooking the eggs makes them rubbery. Stop when whites are just set and yolks are still runny.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or store in the fridge for 2 days; reheat gently in the pan for 3–4 minutes, adding a splash of water.
Serve with
Pair with a simple green salad and a glass of cold white wine for a light but satisfying weeknight dinner.
