  3. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes until it has slightly thickened.
  6. Use a large spoon to make 6 small wells in the tomato sauce.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Use a cast iron skillet for the best heat retention and presentation. Variation: Stir in a handful of fresh baby spinach just before adding the eggs for extra nutrients. Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but cook fresh eggs when reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

Yes, you can use 6 to 8 ripe diced tomatoes, though you may need to simmer the sauce longer to thicken it.

How do I ensure the egg yolks stay runny?

Keep a close eye on the eggs after 5 minutes of covered cooking; remove from heat as soon as the whites are opaque.
