Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 tbsp olive oil
  2. 1 small onion, diced
  3. 1 red bell pepper, diced
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tsp ground cumin
  6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  7. ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  8. 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  9. Salt & black pepper, to taste
  10. 4 large eggs
  11. ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  12. Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  13. Sourdough bread, toasted
  14. Fresh spinach (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
    Stir in garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili flakes (if using); cook for another minute.

  • Make the Sauce:
    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  • Add the Eggs:
    Make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into them.
    Cover and cook until the eggs are set to your liking (about 5-7 minutes).

  • Finish with Toppings:
    Sprinkle the shakshuka with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley).

 

  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Plate with toasted sourdough and fresh spinach on the side.

Notes

  • Spiciness: Adjust the chili flakes to your desired spice level, or omit them for a milder version.
  • Optional Add-ins: You can add spinach to the sauce for extra greens, or serve with a side of fresh veggies.
  • Feta Cheese: If you’re not a fan of feta, you can substitute it with goat cheese or skip it altogether.

 

  • Eggs: For runny yolks, cook the eggs for about 5 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook for a few more minutes.
