Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp chili flakes (optional, for bravery)
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

0.5 tsp black pepper

Steps

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Yes, actually wait until it's hot.
Add onion and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes until soft and cooperative.
Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili flakes. Cook 30 seconds before it burns and ruins your confidence.
Pour in crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thick.
Make small wells in the sauce and crack eggs into them like a responsible adult.
Cover and cook 4 to 6 minutes until whites are set and yolks are how you like them.
Sprinkle herbs on top so it looks intentional. Serve with bread and minimal self-doubt.
