Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp diced green chiles (canned, frozen or fresh)
1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained
1-2 tbsp Chimichurri Seasoning
1 28-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
1 cup coarsely crumbled feta or mozzarella
4 large eggs
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and green chiles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add chickpeas and Chimichurri Seasoning. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle feta evenly over sauce. Crack eggs one at a time and place over sauce, spacing evenly apart. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 5–8 minutes. Garnish with parsley and cilantro. Serve with pita, toast or challah bread for dipping.
