Ingredients
Scale
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
300 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 can (400 g) crushed tomatoes
4–6 eggs
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until golden and tender.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add roasted Brussels sprouts and stir to combine.
Make small wells in the sauce and crack eggs into each. Cover and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until eggs are done to your liking.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta and garnish with parsley or cilantro. Serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts to save time.
For a spicier version, add a spoonful of harissa to the tomato sauce.
