Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange bell pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and red pepper flakes, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly into each pepper half. Create a small well in the center of each and carefully crack an egg into each well.

  5. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.

  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh parsley. Serve warm.
