Instructions
Make the Tomato Base
In a microwave-safe deep bowl or dish, combine the crushed tomatoes, olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine all the spices into the tomato sauce.
Cook the Sauce
Microwave the tomato mixture on high for 2 minutes until it is hot and slightly thickened. Stir the sauce and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Add the Eggs
Use a spoon to create two small wells in the sauce. Carefully crack one egg into each well, then pierce each yolk once with a fork to prevent explosion during microwaving.
Cook and Serve
Cover the dish loosely and microwave on medium power for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. Top with crumbled feta and serve with crusty bread.
