Method

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then fry the sliced peppers for about 5 min until softened. Add the tomatoes, some freshly ground black pepper and the cumin and heat for a few more min to warm through.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat so the water is just steaming, then create a whirlpool with a spoon. Break the egg into the water and cook for 2–3 min for a runny yolk, or until done to your liking. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Put the pepper mixture on the bread or toast, top with the egg and sprinkle with black pepper to serve.
