Prepare the base: Dice the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and Scotch Bonnet pepper (use gloves!).
Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and Scotch Bonnet pepper and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Simmer the sauce: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Create wells and add eggs: Use a spoon to create four wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
Poach the eggs: Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. For runny yolks, cook for less time.
Toast the bread: While the eggs are poaching, toast the Agege bread slices until golden brown. Spread generously with butter.
Serve: Garnish the shakshuka with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately with the buttery Agege toast for dipping.
