Flaming Eggs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 small onion
    1/2 small red pepper
    chopped red chilies or green chili, to taste
    8 ounces crushed tomatoes
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    3 eggs
    paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 320F degrees.
    Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft and lightly golden.
    Add the pepper and chilies and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
    Add the tomato paste and cook, uncovered, over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Transfer the tomato mixture into a shallow, ovenproof dish.
    Using the bowl of a soup spoon, press three hollows into the mixture to hold the eggs (one per number of servings).
    One-by-one break each egg into the hollows.
    Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
    Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne and serve immediately.
