Instructions

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, paprika, and jalapeños; stir, using the back of a spoon to break up the tomatoes. Simmer for about 25 minutes.

3. 3

   Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip the egg into the tomato sauce. Repeat with remaining eggs.

4. 4

   Poach the eggs in the sauce until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 ½ to 3 minutes. If the tomato sauce gets dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon, place onto a warm plate, and serve with the tomato sauce and pita bread.
