Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a rich, spiced tomato and pepper sauce — a one-pan breakfast that doubles as a lazy weekend brunch centerpiece.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and bell pepper 6-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Make 4 wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each.
  5. Cover and cook 7-9 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
  6. Top with feta and herbs and serve straight from the pan.
Serve with: warm pita or crusty bread for scooping up the sauce.

If the yolks set before the whites do, pop the skillet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes — watch it closely.
