Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat.
Step 2
Combine the onion, garlic, peppers and 1 jalapeño chilli in the bowl of a food processor and quickly pulse until roughly chopped. Add the chopped vegetables, paprika and cumin seeds to the warmed pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring once.
Step 3
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 8 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Crack 1 egg into a small cup. Use the back of a spoon to make a hollow in the sauce and gently pour in the egg.
Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cheese in between the eggs and cook for
2-3 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted.
Step 6
Thinly slice the remaining jalapeño chilli and scatter over the eggs with the fresh coriander and dollops of crème fraîche or sour cream..
