Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium Spanish onions, diced
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 large ripe tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1 teaspoon za'atar spice
Grilled pita, for serving

Directions

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, red pepper, garlic and cumin seeds and saute for a few minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and honey and season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat until the ingredients come together into a light sauce, about 10 minutes.

Break the eggs directly into the sauce, cover and poach just until the eggs whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, 8 to 10 minutes.

Garnish with some feta, the remaining olive oil and za'atar spice. Serve with grilled pita.
