Instructions:

• Make the sauce
  
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet.
  • When the oil is warm, add the garlic and onion to the skillet. 
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onions are soft
  • Next, pour in the tomatoes with their juices. Using a wooden spoon, mash the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Be careful not to splash your shirt. 
  • Add the paprika, cumin, oregano, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Give it all a good stir.
  • Let the sauce come to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
  • Add the white beans and stir them into the skillet. Let everything simmer for another 3 minutes.

‍

• Eggcellence 
  
  • Now for the fun part. Gently crack four eggs right into the skillet.
  • Cover with a lid and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft.

‍

• Serve
  
  • When it’s ready, sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped parsley on top.
  • Serve with the crusty bread. Dipping the bread is encouraged.
