Step 1
Warm olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Add cherry tomatoes, paprika, and cumin. Cook 4 minutes, stirring, until tomatoes soften and release juice.
Step 3
Make 4 small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
Step 4
Cover and cook 4–5 minutes until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly.
Step 5
Warm pita bread in a dry skillet or over a flame until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side.
Step 6
Slide the skillet off heat. Serve immediately with pita for scooping and dipping.
