Spice it Up: For a more intense heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the cayenne pepper. Sweetness Adjustment: The amount of honey needed will depend on the acidity of the tomatoes. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste. Yolk Preference: Cooking times will vary depending on your preference for runny or firm yolks. Keep a close eye on the eggs and adjust accordingly. Other garnishes: consider adding crumbled feta cheese, a drizzle of tahini, or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Step
2 mins
Warm the Olive Oil: In a small cast iron skillet (or a similar oven-safe skillet), heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Sauté Aromatics: Add the sliced scallions to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the sliced garlic and ground cumin, cooking for another minute until the garlic is fragrant. (6 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Simmer the Sauce: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Taste the sauce and add honey if the tomatoes are particularly acidic or if you prefer a touch of sweetness. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. (16 minutes)

Step
1 mins
Create Wells and Add Eggs: Gently crack each egg into a separate quarter of the skillet, nestling them into the simmering sauce. Use a fork to carefully spread the egg whites slightly to ensure even cooking.

Step
1 mins
Poach the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the eggs are cooked to your liking. For runny yolks, aim for about 5-7 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook for a few minutes longer. (7 minutes)
