Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1, 28 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tablespoon monk fruit granulated
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan over medium high heat. Add oil and when the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the onions begin to brown, another 10 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and sauce until they are soft, another 5 minutes or so. 

  • Add tomatoes and tomato paste, spices and monk fruit, stir, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes until it starts to reduce. Adjust the seasoning to taste with more salt, pepper, and monk fruit.
  • Crack the eggs over the tomato mixture, spacing them evenly over the sauce. Cover the pan and allow the dish to simmer for 10 minutes, checking every few minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Garnish with cilantro.

Notes

You can make the sauce up a day or two in advance. Simply bring it to a simmer before adding the eggs to finish the dish.
