Ingredients
  

For the Shakshouka
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Use extra virgin for best flavor.
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For Serving
  • 2 slices of bread Use crusty bread for best results.
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Feta cheese, crumbled (optional) For added richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Cooking the Eggs
  1. Make small wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, which usually takes about 4-6 minutes.
  2. While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Once the shakshouka is ready, serve it over the toast, garnished with fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese if desired.

Notes

For perfectly poached eggs, keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. Use crusty bread for toasting, and consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
