5. Add the tin of tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes.

6. Make four small wells in the tomato mixture. And crack the eggs into the wells.

Add the eggs to the saute tomato mix and bake in the oven

7. Bake for 4-5 minutes or 3 minutes with a lid.

8. Add the crumbled feta and pop it back in the oven for 1 minute to allow the feta to heat through.

9. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano, slices of fresh chilli, and fresh herbs. Take it to the table and serve it immediately. 

Notes:

Make the tomato mixture in advance, heat it through, and add eggs just before you eat. A great cheat is to buy Harissa paste and use that instead of spices. If you don't have fresh chilli, then use dried chilli.


Add more zing with a dressing of a couple of teaspoons of Tahini mixed with 30 ml of lemon juice and water. Whisk them together and drape them across your eggs.
