Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant fusion brunch dish featuring poached eggs nestled in a spicy, Berbere-infused tomato sauce, finished with a fresh Mediterranean-style feta crumble.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and Berbere spice. Toast the spices with the aromatics for 2 minutes until incredibly fragrant.
If the spices stick, add a tiny splash of water.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Simmer the sauce gently to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Use a spoon to make 6 small wells in the sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread or injera.
The secret here is the 'Silsi'—the spicy tomato base. Don't rush the onions; letting them get soft and jammy is what gives the sauce its heart. If you're sensitive to heat, start with 1 tbsp of Berbere, but personally, I love the kick!
