Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 4
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- 5
Use a spoon to create four wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
- 6
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes for a more even cooking.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Serve with gluten-free bread or pita for dipping (optional).
