This vibrant one-pan meal features eggs gently cooked in a savory tomato and bell pepper sauce infused with warm spices. It’s hearty enough for dinner but just as fitting for breakfast or brunch. Pair it with toasted bread or pita for dipping into the rich sauce and soft yolks.
Place a 12-inch stainless steel or enamel-coated cast-iron skillet with a lid over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Add the onion, red bell pepper, salt, and a few twists of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne if using. Cook briefly, about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the harissa paste. Let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Mix in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Using the back of a spoon, create 3 to 5 shallow wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Finish by topping with feta, parsley, avocado slices, and microgreens if desired. Serve immediately with toasted bread for scooping.
NotesIf you prefer less heat, choose a mild harissa. For a spicier dish, use a hot harissa paste.Nutrition Calories: 290 kcal | Carbohydrates: 15 g | Protein: 14 g | Fat: 21 g | Saturated Fat: 5 g | Cholesterol: 215 mg | Sodium: 740 mg | Potassium: 750 mg | Fiber: 4 g | Sugar: 9 g | Vitamin A: 3500 IU | Vitamin C: 60 mg | Calcium: 140 mg | Iron: 3 mg
