Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in crushed tomatoes and pomegranate molasses. Simmer for 4 minutes until sauce darkens slightly.
Step 6
Make two shallow wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well and cover. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Serve hot in bowls, drizzling any pan sauce over the eggs.
