Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover; let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover; acook a bit longer, allowing the mixture to reduce and thicken. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Using a wooden spoon, make 6 “wells,” in the tomato mixture, make sure they are spaced out. Gently crack an egg into each well. Reduce heat; cover; cook on low until the egg whites are set.
Uncover; season with salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Garnish with parsley and mint, if desired.
Serve with warm pita, challah, toast or crusty bread.
