Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 

  2. Add chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 

  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. 

  4. Sprinkle ground cumin, paprika, and ground coriander over the onions and garlic.   

  5. Pour in diced tomatoes and chickpeas. Season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the mixture thickens. 

  6. Make small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into each well. Spring with ½ teaspoon salt. 

  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (adjust cooking time based on egg preference). 

  8. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve with slice of pita.
