Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Stir in crushed tomatoes, cumin, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Make 4 shallow wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
Step 4
Cover and simmer 5–7 minutes until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle when the pan shakes.
Step 5
Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley over the top. Serve straight from the skillet.
