  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 6 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled, optional
  • 4-8 slices crusty bread toasted, optional

Instructions

  2. Add garlic and spices and cook an additional minute.
  3. Pour the can of tomatoes and juice into the pan and break down the tomatoes using a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a simmer.
