A beloved North African breakfast of tomatoes and bell peppers sautéed with spices, with eggs cracked into the sauce and cooked until set to your liking. Serve with bread for dipping. This hearty dish is a brunch favorite.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the vegetables

8 min

Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in olive oil until softened.

2

Add the tomatoes

12 min

Add the grated tomatoes, Turkish red pepper flakes, and cumin. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens.

3

Add the eggs

1 min

Make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each one. Sprinkle with salt.

4

Cover and cook

6 min

Cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the egg whites are set and the yolks remain runny. Caution: cooking them too long will firm up the yolks.

5

Serve

2 min

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with warm bread.

Reminder

After cracking the eggs into the sauce, cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the whites are set while the yolks remain runny. If the sauce is too watery, simmer it over low heat a little longer to thicken it before covering the skillet. Allergen: contains eggs.
