Preparation
  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Make four small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Notes

Feel free to add veggies like spinach or zucchini for an extra health boost. If you prefer firmer yolks, increase the cooking time slightly. For storage, leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
