Yields

4-6

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

medium onion, finely chopped

garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

jalapeños, seeded, finely chopped

15-ounce can chickpeas, drained

teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika

teaspoon ground cumin

28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand, juices reserved Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

cup coarsely crumbled feta

large eggs

tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Warm pita bread, avocado toast


Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeños; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add chickpeas, paprika, and cumin and cook for 2 minutes longer.

Step 2

Add crushed tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle feta evenly over sauce. Crack eggs one at a time and place over sauce, spacing evenly apart. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 5–8 minutes. Garnish with parsley and cilantro. Serve with pita or toast for dipping.
