Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion, cook until soft and translucent, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cumin, then pour in crushed tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3
Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well, spacing them evenly around the pan.
Step 4
Cover and simmer over medium-low until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle when gently shaken, ~6 minutes.
Step 5
Scatter cilantro or parsley over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Serve hot in the skillet with warm crusty bread for soaking.
