Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork sausage, lamb, or chorizo Choose your favorite
- 1 Bell pepper (orange or yellow, chopped)
- 1 Poblano pepper (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Green onion (chopped, green tops only)
- 0.5 cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 56 oz Crushed fire roasted tomatoes (2 (28 oz) cans)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced or use garlic-infused olive oil)
- 4 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.125 tsp Cayenne pepper (just a pinch)
- 1.5 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 6 Large eggs (cracked directly into sauce)
- 0.75 cup Feta cheese (crumbled) For topping
- Crusty bread or flatbread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is browned. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the chopped bell pepper, poblano pepper, and green onion to the skillet. Cook until the peppers are soft.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed fire roasted tomatoes. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes so the flavors can blend.
- Make small wells in the sauce and carefully crack the eggs into each well. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of cayenne pepper. For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce before adding the eggs.
