Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 796 mL (28 oz) can of no salt added diced tomatoes
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) cumin
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) paprika
  • 2.5 mL (½ tsp) ground coriander
  • 1.25 mL (¼ tsp) red pepper flakes
  • 4 eggs
  • Optional topping: parsley

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

2

Lightly coat a large oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bell pepper and garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

3

Add canned tomatoes and all of the spices to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.

4

In a small bowl, crack one egg. Using a small spoon, move the simmering tomato mixture to create a small hole for the egg. Pour the egg into the hole. Repeat until all eggs are in the skillet.

5

Turn off the heat and move the skillet from the stovetop to the preheated oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes until eggs are set but still jiggle in the centre when you move the skillet. They will continue to cook once removed from the oven.

6

Remove the skillet from the oven. Add a handful of chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.
