Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet or pan on medium heat and add olive oil. Add the peppers and sauté for five minutes.

Add red onions and cook until lightly caramelized. If you want to use spring onions, reduce the cooking time to 2 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute before adding the chili, chopped tomatoes, black pepper, and salt, stir well.

Cook the mixture on low to medium heat for 15 minutes or until the sauce started to thicken. Check the seasoning and add some salt if needed.

Crack the eggs into the tomato mixture one at a time, cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Take the pan off the heat and sprinkle some cheese of your choice and chopped parsley on top before serving.
