Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 sweet red pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 can (280z) crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Seasoned Vegetable Base
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
6 eggs
¼ cup finely crumbled feta cheese
2 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ tsp pepper
Toasted sourdough bread, for serving

Directions

  • 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet set over medium heat; cook onion, sweet pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are slightly softened.

  • 2

    Stir in tomatoes and Seasoned Vegetable base; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

  • 3

    Crack eggs over sauce and baste each egg with a little of the tomato sauce; transfer to oven. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (or until eggs are cooked as desired).

  • 4

    Top eggs with feta and green onions. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with toasted bread.

Tip: Alternatively, serve with warm pita bread instead of toasted sourdough bread.
