Ingredients

  • 1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow or red bell pepper
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 2 lb very ripe yellow tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 oz mild goat cheese
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill, plus more for garnish
  • 6 large eggs
  • fresh pita breads, for serving
  • fresh chives, for serving

Instructions

1

Heat oil in a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

2

Stir in garlic, cumin, turmeric, and paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Stir in tomatoes, .5t salt, and .25t black pepper. Cook, partially covered, until the tomatoes and peppers are very soft and have formed a thick sauce, about 15 minutes. If the sauce begins to stick to the pan before tomatoes are fully broken down, stir in a splash of water.

4

Stir in goat cheese and dill.

5

Crack eggs over the surface of the tomato sauce. Season eggs with salt and pepper.

6

Transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are just barely set, about 7-10 minutes.

7

Garnish with dill, and serve with pita breads.
