Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. coriander seeds
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 medium onions, halved, sliced lengthwise into 1/4"-thick strips
1 lb. mixed wild or crimini mushrooms, sliced 1/4" thick
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
2 Tbsp. red or white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 bunch curly kale, stems removed, torn into small pieces
8 large eggs
Flaky sea salt, chopped parsley and/or cilantro, Aleppo-style pepper (optional), and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high. Crush cumin, coriander, and red pepper with a mortar and pestle or heavy skillet. Add to hot oil in skillet and stir to coat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add tomatoes, vinegar, and 1 tsp. kosher salt and stir to combine. Add kale, cover skillet, and cook, uncovering and tossing occasionally, until kale is wilted, 4-6 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. kosher salt.
Make 8 indentations in vegetable mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each. Cover skillet and cook over medium-low heat, rotating skillet on burner halfway through to ensure even cooking, until egg whites are opaque and just set, 8-10 minutes. Top with sea salt, herbs, and Aleppo-style pepper (if using). Squeeze lemon juice over.
