Classic Shakshuka
Reader ratingsEggs poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce — a one-pan brunch that comes together in half an hour.
Why it’s good for you
A vegetable-forward, high-protein breakfast; cooked tomatoes are a top source of the antioxidant lycopene.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and peppers 8 minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic, cumin, and paprika; stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt, and simmer 10 minutes until thickened.
- Make six wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each.
- Cover and cook 6–8 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Scatter with feta and parsley and serve straight from the pan with bread for dipping.
Tips
- Keep the heat gentle once the eggs go in so the sauce does not scorch on the bottom.
- Make the sauce ahead and reheat, then poach the eggs fresh when you are ready to eat.
