Easy to make, full of pleasure not only from the usual suspects (eggs) but also from the fresh tomatoes and the feta.
Don’t skip the coriander nor the za’atar, as they really make the difference.
Served with rustic bread or pitta, and optionally with hot Harissa Sauce. A bowl of Greens salad goes really nicely with it.

Servings: 3 People
Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh Tomatoes , ripen, cut in cubes, or 150ml Classic Tomato Pasta Sauce (recipe in sauces section)
- 400g cubed Tomatoes , canned
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp Sugar , to correct the acidity of the fresh tomatoes
- 30ml Red Bell Pepper Purée
- 1 tsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Dry Oregano
- 1 tbsp EVOO , extra virgin olive oil
- 30g Feta , crumbled
- 2 Cherry Tomatoes , quartered, optionally
- 1 tsp Zaatar
- 1 tsp Urfa Biber , or Aleppo pepper
- 1 tsp fresh Parsley , or Cilantro or Chives, finely chopped
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium/low heat add the fresh tomatoes (or the tomato sauce) along with the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, the pepper purée and the paprika. Stir to combine and allow to thicken and reduce by ⅓. Keep aside at room temperature.
- When ready to cook take a large and deep frying pan and place on low heat. Wait to heat-up and pour the olive oil allowing it to heat for about 1’. Add the above tomato/pepper mixture. Make 6 wells in the mixture and add the eggs into them. Cover the pan with its lid and cook for 5’ and until the egg whites have set. and you are happy of how runny the yolks are.
- Remove from the heat, season over the eggs with the salt and pepper, scatter the feta, add the optional cherry tomatoes, sprinkle the zaatar and the biber and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately with crusty rustic bread (or Pitta bread) for soaking up the sauce, while taking care as the bowl could be very hot. Optionally add on the side couple of tablespoons of Harissa Sauce.
