Eggs gently cooked in a spicy tomato sauce – a breakfast nobody turns down in the evening either. The flatbread isn't a side here, it's your cutlery.

Method

  1. Step 1: Cut the onion and pepper into thin strips and finely chop the garlic.

  2. Step 2: Heat the oil in a frying pan (approx. 26 cm). Fry the onion and pepper for 6 minutes until soft, then add the garlic, cumin, paprika and chilli flakes and toast for 1 minute.

    Timer: 7 min

  3. Step 3: Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and simmer uncovered for 8 minutes until the sauce is nice and thick.

    Timer: 8 min

  4. Step 4: Use a spoon to press four hollows into the sauce and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook over low heat for 7 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

    Timer: 7 min

  5. Step 5: Crumble the feta over the top, sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve straight from the pan with flatbread.

Tips

  • Put the lid on so the egg whites set on top before the yolks turn hard.
  • The sauce can be nice and thick – otherwise your eggs will swim away.

Swaps

  • Not a fan of coriander? Flat-leaf parsley works just as well.
  • Vegan: leave out the eggs and warm chickpeas and smoked tofu in the sauce instead.

Storage

The sauce without eggs keeps for 3 days in the fridge – to reheat, simply crack fresh eggs into it.
