Steps

Heat the olive oil and cook the onion and green pepper for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the tomatoes, paprika, and pepper flakes and cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a thick, saucy mixture.
Season with salt and pepper.
Crack the eggs directly into the pan and stir gently, letting them scramble softly into the vegetables for 2-3 minutes; don't overcook.
Top with crumbled feta and parsley if using, and serve straight from the pan with bread.
