6large crusty bread rolls
6large eggs

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the red bell pepper and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, cayenne, and harissa and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour in tomatoes and break up the large tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Season with the salt and pepper, and simmer until the tomatoes have thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Cut a lid into the bread rolls and scoop out some of the bread center and place on a baking sheet. Then divide the cooked tomatoes between the rolls. Make a small well in the center of each and crack an egg in the center. Bake until the eggs have set, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the feta and cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
