Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 4 pieces eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the onions. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Chop the ripe tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce.
Season the mixture with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the flavors evenly.
Use a spoon to create four evenly spaced wells in the tomato mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve hot with crusty bread, pita, or your favorite flatbread.
