Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
200 g chopped onion
240 g thinly sliced bell peppers, any color
2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
600 g chopped tomatoes
1 hot chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs

Directions

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the vegetables cook, combine the tomatoes, chile pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl.
Step 4
Add the tomato mixture to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Simmer, uncovered, until the tomato juices have cooked off, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Create 4 wells in the tomato mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set but still slightly runny, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Serve the spicy tomato and egg breakfast immediately and enjoy!
