Ingredients for Recipe:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 [14-oz.] can of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup tomato passata
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 red chili pepper, seeded and minced (if you want it extra spicy leave in the seeds)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Tip:
If jarred passata is not available in your area, a good substitute is a combination of one-part tomato paste mixed with two parts water. (For this recipe, 1/3 cup tomato paste mixed with 2/3 cups water). You can also use a jarred sauce, but it is likely to have additional seasonings that could affect the overall flavor of your dish.
