Eggs gently poached in a cumin and paprika spiced tomato and pepper sauce, finished with feta and herbs. Breakfast for dinner, ready in about 35 minutes from one pan.

## Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 can crushed tomatoes, 28 oz
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- 6 large eggs
- 2 oz feta, crumbled
- 2 tbsp cilantro or parsley, chopped
- 4 slices crusty bread, toasted, for serving

## Steps
1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 yellow onion and 1 red bell pepper until soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Stir in 3 cloves garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add 1 can crushed tomatoes and ¾ tsp kosher salt, bring to a simmer, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until thick enough that a spoon dragged through leaves a trail.
3. Make shallow wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon and crack 6 large eggs into them, one per well.
4. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 5 to 8 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Start checking at 5 minutes; they go from runny to hard fast.
5. Scatter 2 oz feta and 2 tbsp cilantro or parsley over the top and serve straight from the pan with 4 slices crusty bread for dipping.

## Chef's note
Breakfast for dinner counts as dinner. The sauce keeps 3 days in the fridge, so make a double batch on Sunday and you're 10 minutes from eggs on any night. Swap in gluten-free bread and the whole meal is gluten-free.
