Directions:
- Place diced eggplant into a colander and toss with ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside while preparing the rest of the vegetables.
- Preheat skillet over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled in skillet skitter and dissipate, approximately 5 minutes, add onions and sauté for 4 - 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Add red peppers, jalapeños and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add eggplant and sauté for 3 - 5 minutes until eggplant starts to soften, stirring vegetables during cooking.
- Add cumin, sweet paprika and bay leaf. Toss to combine and toast spices.
- Add tomatoes and juices and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and place 12 in. Electric Oil Core Skillet cover on skillet. Cook sauce for 30 - 35 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
- Remove cover and make six indents in sauce with back of spoon. Crack eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl and gently pour one egg into each hole. Sprinkle feta cheese over top. Cover and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs cooked.
- Serve immediately and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
Tips:
- Substitute eggplant for summer squash or zucchini.
- Add in chicken sausage for a heartier brunch-style entrée or substitute for firm tofu, cut into chunks.
- Instead of poaching eggs in sauce, scramble eggs and pour a small amount into each indent.
