Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
1 can tomatoes, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Poach the Eggs:
Make small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon and gently crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust cooking time if you prefer firmer yolks.
4 large eggs
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from heat, and sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and feta cheese, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes
Adjusting Heat: For a milder version, omit the cayenne pepper. If you prefer extra spice, add a dash more or top with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Make-Ahead Option: The tomato sauce base can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to two days. Reheat and add eggs when ready to serve.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with warm pita or sourdough bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
