Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Yellow Onion Minced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced

Spice Mix

  • 1.5 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice (substitute: equal parts ground cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon)
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • Pinch Cayenne Powder
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Chopped
  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper Any color will do
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes whole or cut
  • 15 oz Canned Diced Tomatoes
  • 6 Eggs
  • Fresh Parsley chopped

Instructions

Tomato Base

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet with a lid at medium-heat.
  • Add onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until soft. Add garlic. Cook garlic-onion mixture then add spices. Once you start smelling the spices it's time for the next step. Prepare for some stomach rumbles.
  • Add in chopped mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
    Note: You could add any additional veggies you want at this time. I've tried minced cauliflower, zucchini, etc. and it turns out great. If the spices start to burn, add a splash of water.
  • Add in canned diced tomatoes and salt. Cover and let simmer for 10-13 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.

Egg Portion

  • If you a making this ahead of time, cool down the tomate sauce then divide. Bring it back to heat in a pan or microwave then proceed with the following steps.
  • Make 4 small holes in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Gently crack an egg into each well. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and reduce the heat to low for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and paprika.
  • Enjoy
  • Note: This is a perfect dish to add to a brunch spread. Serve with fresh sourdough bread.
