Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until warm and ready for the vegetables.
Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for just 30 seconds until aromatic, watching it doesn't burn.
Add cumin and paprika, stirring quickly to bloom the spices in the oil for maximum flavor.
Pour in a can of diced tomatoes with their juices and stir everything together thoroughly.
Season with salt and pepper, then let simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Using a spoon, make 2-4 shallow wells in the sauce depending on how many eggs you're making.
Crack eggs carefully into each well, trying to keep the yolks intact and centered.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes until whites are set to your liking.
Check the eggs and cook a bit longer if you prefer firmer yolks, or remove earlier for runnier ones.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, and optional feta crumbles.
Serve immediately from the pan with crusty bread, toast, or warm pita for scooping.
