North African eggs poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. One pan, twenty minutes, feeds a crowd. My go-to for lazy Sunday brunch.

Heat olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft, 8 minutes. Add garlic and peppers, cook 5 more minutes.
Add smoked paprika, cumin, and harissa. Cook spices for 1 minute.
Crush tomatoes into the pan by hand. Season generously with salt. Simmer 15 minutes until sauce is thick.
Make 6 wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
Cover and cook on low until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 5-8 minutes.

Pan-fried halloumi cubes instead of eggs. Unexpected, totally vegan-friendly if you want, and much more party-friendly.
Brown 200g ground lamb with ras el hanout before adding the tomato sauce. Poach eggs on top. Serve from the pan.
The quesabirria that took over the internet. Beef braised in a chile-tomato consomme, shredded and griddle-fried in a cheese taco. Dip in the consomme.
