Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. 2. Add minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika; cook for another minute until fragrant. 3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and olives, season with salt and pepper, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. 4. Create two small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. 5. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or pita.
