How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes, cumin, paprika, coriander, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
3. Create small wells in the sauce with a spoon and gently crack an egg into each one. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking, with the whites firm and yolks still runny.
4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and let it warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a burst of color and freshness.
