Instructions
step 1
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and salt, cook for 1 minute.
step 2
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and harissa. Stir and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.

Cover the skillet with a lid or baking sheet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are opaque and yolks are soft.

Remove the lid and top with feta cheese, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
