Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Slice 2 garlic cloves; toss with tomatoes, onion, 3 T. oil, parsley and ¼ t. each salt and pepper, in a large bowl. Spread evenly on a large rimmed foil covered baking sheet or in a shallow roasting pan. Roast until tomatoes are shriveled and browned, about 45 minutes.
Chop remaining garlic clove. Heat the remaining 1 T. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chiles; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add cumin; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato mixture, basil and the remaining ½ t. salt. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are mostly broken down, 6 - 8 minutes.
Make 4 deep indentations in the sauce with the back of a spoon; carefully crack an egg into each indentation. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining ¼ t. pepper. Cover; cook over medium-low heat until whites are set, 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with feta cheese; let stand, covered, for 2 minutes, letting the eggs continue to cook a little as they stand.
Garnish with parsley. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
