### Step-by-Step Method

1. Cook the Minced Meat

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant (about 2 minutes).

4. Add the minced meat to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 57 minutes.

5. Season with paprika, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.

6. Add the Tomatoes

7. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 34 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

9. Fry the Eggs

10. Push the meat and tomato mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating small wells for the eggs.

11. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Crack the eggs into the wells, being careful not to break the yolks.

12. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny (about 34 minutes). For firmer yolks, cook longer.

13. Garnish and Serve

14. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of colour and added freshness.

15. Serve hot with crusty bread, pita, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
