HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Heat olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.

03

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

04

Add diced tomatoes (undrained), harissa paste, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

05

Create four small wells in the tomato sauce using the back of a spoon. Carefully crack one egg into each well.

06

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.

07

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, crumble some feta cheese over the top before baking. Serve with warm pita bread or crusty sourdough for dipping.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have harissa, you can use a pinch of red pepper flakes and a dash of smoked paprika for a similar spicy, smoky flavor. Spinach can be wilted into the tomato sauce before adding eggs.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, though the egg yolks will likely be fully cooked.
