Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

2 jalapeños, seeded, finely chopped

1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained

2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand, juices reserved

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup coarsely crumbled feta

8 large eggs

1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Warm pita bread

Method

Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeños; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add chickpeas, paprika, and cumin and cook for 2 minutes longer.

Add crushed tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle feta evenly over sauce. Crack eggs one at a time and place over sauce, spacing evenly apart. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 5-8 minutes. Garnish with parsley and cilantro. Serve with pita for dipping.
