Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
  2. Add the tomatoes (with their juices), paprika, and ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper to the skillet. Cover and simmer until the liquid has thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Using a spoon, make 8 shallow wells in the vegetables and crack an egg into each. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper, cover, and cook over medium heat until the egg whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the bread.

Quick Tip

Eggs
Add the eggs to the pan just before you’re ready to serve. They cook very quickly and can easily become overdone.
