- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) onion
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 small (seeded and finely chopped; optional) jalapeño

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and jalapeño. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Using the back of a spoon, create 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and sauce, and cover again for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with crusty bread or warm tortillas.
