Total Time 35 minutes mins
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2-3 tablespoons harissa paste adjust to your spice preference
- 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4-6 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
- Crusty bread for serving optional but recommended!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a large, oven-safe skillet – cast iron works great here.
Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until they're soft and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Toss in the garlic and harissa paste. Cook for another minute until everything smells amazing.
Add chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Using the back of a spoon, make 4-6 wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
