To taste, not counted: 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp paprika; a pinch of chili flakes; salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. They add a few calories at most.

Method

Warm the oil in a 25 cm (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft.
Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili flakes for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, crushing the tomatoes, until the sauce thickens.
Make four hollows in the sauce and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until the whites are completely set. Cook a few minutes longer if you like firm yolks.
Scatter with parsley and serve from the pan, with a slice of toast each.

How the calories add up

The four eggs are 286 of the 716 calories and supply most of the protein.
The tablespoon of oil adds 119 calories. Softening the vegetables in 2 teaspoons instead saves about 39.
Without the toast, a serving is 278 calories.
