Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin; cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add 2 cans of diced tomatoes, season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Create 6 wells in the tomato mixture and crack 1 egg into each well.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny.
