Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in tomatoes with their juice. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 6 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle feta over top.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and cook over medium-low heat until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle, 5–7 minutes.
