Method
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium. Cook the onion and pepper 8 to 10 minutes, until very soft.
- Add the garlic and spices and stir 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and sugar and simmer 10 minutes, until thick enough that a spoon leaves a trail.
- Make 6 wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook over medium-low 5 to 8 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
- Scatter the feta and parsley and bring the pan to the table with warm pita.
