steps
- Build a campfire or prepare a grill for two-zone cooking. Heat a deep cast-iron skillet until lightly smoking. Move to indirect heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add diced peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add whole tomatoes and their juices, salt and pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, and coriander.
- Cover pan and let cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
- Once mixture has thickened, create 2 to 4 wells and crack an egg into each. Cover pan again and cook until eggs are set, 3 to 5 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with crumbled feta or queso fresco and top with chopped cilantro.
