Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices rustic bread or sourdough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Create four small wells in the sauce and carefully crack an egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness.
  8. While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
  9. Place each toast slice on a serving plate.

  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
  12. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Sourdough, country bread, or rustic artisan bread works best.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to make the dish milder or spicier.
  • Add spinach, kale, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • Cooked chickpeas or crumbled sausage can be added for additional protein.
  • Fresh cilantro can be used instead of parsley.
  • Top with avocado slices for extra creaminess.
  • The tomato sauce can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
  • Store leftover sauce separately and prepare fresh toast and eggs when serving.
  • Feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella all work well as cheese options.
