Ingredients

Scale

For the Toast:

  • 2 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or whole wheat)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Shakshouka Sauce:

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Feta cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Toast

    Toast the Bread – Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. Set aside.

  2. Make the Shakshouka Sauce

    Cook the Vegetables – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.

    Add Garlic and Spices – Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes – Pour in the diced tomatoes, including the juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  3. Poach the Eggs

    Create Wells for Eggs – Using the back of a spoon, create two small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.

    Poach the Eggs – Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust cooking time for your preferred egg consistency.

  4. Assemble and Serve

    Assemble the Toast – Place the toasted bread on plates. Spoon the shakshouka sauce and eggs over the toast.

    Garnish and Serve – Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, and optionally add crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately while warm.
