Directions
1In a 22.5-cm (9-in.) skillet, toast cumin seeds over medium heat for 1 minute, watching to make sure they don’t burn.
2Add olive oil, onion, and bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic, hot pepper (if using), and salt. Cook 2 more minutes; then add tomato sauce and chorizo (if using). Let simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally (sauce should thicken slightly). Season with pepper.
3Crack room temperature eggs, sliding them gently over sauce. Take care not to break the yolks. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Spread feta cheese around eggs.
4Cover and let simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
5Serve immediately, placing the skillet directly on the table. Top with fresh herbs, and serve with toasted bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
6For perfectly cooked eggs, the trick is to bring them to room temperature before cracking.
