Ingredients:

• 6 eggs

• 1/2 sweet onion, diced

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp salt (plus more for seasoning)

• 1 tsp olive oil

• Feta cheese (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 can (28 oz) of crushed or whole peeled tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Add the canned tomatoes to the skillet and combine well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Create 6 wells in the thickened tomato mixture using a spoon. Carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, until the egg whites set but the yolks stay runny.

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

Serve your flavorful and nutritious shakshuka hot and savor the perfect Sunday breakfast.
