Add the strips to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and spices and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the chopped parsley. Crack the eggs into the pan, but don’t stir. If you like, you can add feta cheese. If using an ovenproof pan, let the eggs set for 10 minutes in the oven at around 160°C (top/bottom heat).
