Directions
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat a 3.5-quart sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add olive oil, then red onion. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add zucchini, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook 4–5 minutes until tender.
- Stir in corn and cook 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.
Build the Tomato Base
- Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs and the harissa paste and cook 1 minute more.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper, and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the Eggs
- Make six small wells in the sauce with a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
- Pro tip: Crack eggs into small bowls before adding them to the pan. It makes it easier to drop them neatly into the wells without breaking the yolks.
Bake Until Set
- Transfer pan to a preheated 375°F oven.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain soft. For firmer yolks, bake 2–3 minutes longer.
Finish and Serve
- Remove from the oven. Top with crumbled feta, za’atar, and fresh herbs.
- Sprinkle chili flakes if desired.
- Serve hot with grilled bread and lemon wedges.
