Salt and pepper to taste

What to do:
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
Add the garlic and spices and cook for another minute.
Pour the can of tomatoes and juice into the pan and break up the tomatoes with a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
Using the large spoon, make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. You can cover the pan with a lid to speed up cooking.
