Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown lamb, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, ~2 minutes. Add paprika, cumin, and cinnamon; stir for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Pour in crushed tomatoes. If using harissa, stir it in. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Create two shallow wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack eggs into each well.
Step 5
Cover and cook until egg whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly, ~4 minutes. Uncover.
Step 6
Scatter fresh herbs over the top. Serve directly from the skillet with warm bread.
