Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, tomatoes, and herbs. Stir and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes. Turn off the heat, add salt and pepper to taste.
Use a spoon to make wells and crack eggs directly into them. Spoon a bit of the tomato mix over the whites to help contain the eggs.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
Transfer hot skillet to top of the stove and top with feta and more cilantro. Serve with crusty bread.
