Combine the cumin, harissa, paprika and salt in a small bowl and mix together. Sprinkle on the onion/pepper mixture and cook about three minutes.

Increase the heat to medium high and add the tomatoes and water. Cover and cook for about 18 to 20 minutes. Smush and break apart the tomatoes as it cooks. Stir occasionally. The sauce will thicken.

Add the feta cheese and spinach leaves and fold into the tomato mixture.

Take your spoon and make small wells or 'nests' as best you can. Crack an egg in each space. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper.

Turn heat to medium low. Cover and let the eggs steam/cook to your desired finish, about 8 to 10 minutes for a soft yolk.

Sprinkle with cilantro.
