- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 whole tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
Prepare
- Chop 1 onion
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 1 small red chile, finely chopped
- 2 clove garlic, finely chopped

Let's Cook
-
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.
-
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.
-
Step 3.
Stir in the garlic and cumin; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
