Shakshuka
Shakshuka is a flavorful, warm, savory Middle Eastern dish filled with tomatoes, eggs, and spices. I love serving it with crusty bread for a satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, small
- 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes
- 14 ounces fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 6 egg large
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 tablespoons cilantro for garnish, or parsley; chopped
- avocado for garnish, optional, slices
- crushed red pepper flakes if desired
- bread for serving, crusty
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
- Use a large spoon to make 6 small wells in the sauce for the eggs. Crack the eggs into each well. Pro tip-you can crack the egg in a glass and then pour into the pan, this makes it easier to pour.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until egg whites are opaque and yolks are soft (or until desired doneness, you can cook longer if you prefer hard eggs).
- Remove the lid and garnish with feta cheese, cilantro or parsley, red pepper flakes, and avocado slices, if using. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread.

Notes
- If your skillet doesn’t have a lid, you can lay a baking sheet over the pan.
