Start with olive oil and diced onions, using a mix of white and red onions.

Add finely diced green peppers and some red peppers, sautéing until browned.

Incorporate minced garlic, ensuring it caramelizes with the onions.

Add fresh tomatoes, mixing until they wilt down.

Stir in cumin, dried coriander, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the mixture is well combined.

Flatten the mixture to create pockets for the eggs.

Crack eggs directly into the pockets, or into a ramekin first if preferred.

Optionally add feta cheese on top, then cover and reduce heat to low.

After a few minutes, turn off the heat and let sit for about five minutes until eggs are cooked to preference.

Top with dried chili spice and fresh cilantro before serving.
