Check you have the quantities below.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup feta, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 4 slices bread, for serving

Let’s make it

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Make 6 small wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes, until whites are fully set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
  4. Top with feta and parsley. Serve with bread.

For kids, spoon the sauce over toasted bread and add a fully cooked egg on the side.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
