Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Step 2

In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 3 tbsp of olive oil, chopped onions, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 20 minutes until peppers soften. Add the spices: dark chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and lower the heat to simmer. Stir and allow sauce to simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Create 4 small wells in the tomato sauce and crack the eggs into the wells. Place skillet into the oven and bake the eggs for 8-10 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking (they will continue to cook when you remove from the oven so don't overcook).

Step 4

Remove from the oven and top with crumbled cheese and herb garnish of parsley or cilantro. Serve with toasted bread or pita to scoop up all the delicious sauces.
