Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  2. Step 2.

    Add the bell pepper and chile to the skillet, season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Step 3.

    Stir in the garlic and cumin; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4.

    Crush the whole tomatoes with your hands and add them to the skillet along with their juices. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  5. Step 5.

    Reduce the heat to low. Make 4 small wells in the sauce and carefully crack one egg into each well. Cover and gently simmer for 6 minutes.

  6. Step 6.

    Uncover and continue cooking until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes for slightly runny yolks. Sprinkle with chives if desired.
