- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: grated Parmesan or feta cheese for topping
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 10–12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, paprika, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny (or longer if firmer eggs are preferred).
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs and cheese if using, and serve hot with crusty bread.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red chili flakes or harissa to the tomato sauce.
- You can use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes for a twist.
- This dish is naturally vegetarian and gluten free.
