Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion, cook until soft and translucent, ~4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in cumin, then pour in crushed tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well, spacing them evenly around the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Cover and simmer over medium-low until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle when gently shaken, ~6 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter cilantro or parsley over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot in the skillet with warm crusty bread for soaking.
