Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped red sweet peppers
½ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
3 cups chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
Snipped fresh parsley
2 whole-wheat pita bread rounds, halved crosswise and warmed
Directions:
In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the next five ingredients (through crushed red pepper). Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Make four indentations in the tomato mixture. Break an egg into a custard cup or small bowl and slip it into an indentation. Repeat with the remaining three eggs. Simmer, covered, for 4 to 6 minutes or until the whites are completely set, and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
Top with yogurt and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with warm, halved whole-wheat pita bread rounds.
