Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs. olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 12-oz. jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped (can also use freshly roasted peppers, skin removed and chopped)
  • 2 28-oz. cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbs. paprika
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6-8 eggs
  • 2-4 oz. feta cheese
  • 2 tbs. chopped fresh parsley
  • pita or fresh bread for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 9-by-11 Pyrex dish.
  • Add oil to a large saute pan (pan should be a little on the deeper side) over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add roasted bell pepper and spices and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Scrape mixture into greased Pyrex dish. Add the 2 cans of diced tomatoes and mix.
  • Place in oven for 30-35 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly and tomatoes are cooked.
  • Carefully remove pan from oven. Using a tablespoon, create 6-8 wells in the tomato sauce. Crack eggs and gently place in each well.
  • Place pan back into oven for 3-5 minutes, or until whites have just set and egg yolks are still runny. (Or to your liking).
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle with feta cheese (optional) and fresh parsley. Serve hot with fresh pita or bread.
