Shakshuka with Feta
Shakshuka with Feta is a savory one-pan dish where eggs are poached in a thick tomato sauce spiced with smoked paprika, cumin, and harissa. Red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and canned plum tomatoes form the base, enriched by fresh spinach added near the end. Feta cheese and fresh cilantro sprinkle over the top offer creamy, tangy, and herbal notes that balance the warm spices. It’s a comforting dish often served for breakfast or brunch.
