Ingredients
2 eggs
30 grams of feta cheese
1⁄2 tablespoon of butter
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 white onion, diced
120 millilitres of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon of dried basil or a handful of fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon of dried oregano or a handful of fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
A pinch of cayenne pepper
A pinch of pepper
Method
Begin by melting the butter in a small frying pan over a medium heat and then add the sliced red pepper and finely diced onion
Cook gently for around 10 minutes, or until the vegetables have turned soft and golden, stirring often to prevent sticking
Once the vegetables are cooked add the sauce and all of the spices except the cayenne pepper. Lower the heat and gently simmer the sauce for around ten minutes.
The sauce should now be looking rich and delicious
At this point, crumble the feta cheese into the pan and make two small hollows in the surface of the sauce by using the back of a spoon
Crack the eggs into the hollows and sprinkle over the cayenne pepper
Put a lid on the frying pan and let the eggs poach in the tomato sauce. This stage is important, so if you do not have a lid for your frying pan just use any lid that is larger than your pan
Check the eggs often and remove from the heat once the white has set and the yolk has turned golden yellow
Remember, the eggs will continue to cook in the sauce even once the heat has been turned off so if you want a runny yolk take the pan off the heat slightly earlier
When the eggs are cooked to your liking use a large spoon to serve in a bowl
