Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 slices bread
- ½ cup feta cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat at 350°F for 2 minutes.
- Toss diced onion and bell pepper into the hot oil, sautéing until vegetables soften and turn translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Drop minced garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon paprika into the pan, stirring constantly for 60 seconds to release aromatic flavors.
- Pour entire 14-oz can of diced tomatoes into the skillet, reducing heat to low and allowing mixture to simmer for exactly 10 minutes.
- Use a spoon to create four small wells in the tomato sauce, carefully cracking one egg into each depression.
- Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, cooking eggs at low heat until whites set completely and yolks remain slightly runny, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- While eggs cook, slide 4 bread slices into a toaster, browning them to a golden crisp.
- Transfer toasted bread to serving plates, spooning saucy eggs directly on top.
- Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta cheese over the eggs, finishing with fresh parsley leaves for brightness.
Notes
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce base and deeper taste.
- Adjust spice levels by adding more or less cumin and paprika according to personal preference.
- Cracking eggs directly into sauce wells ensures even cooking and prevents breaking yolks.
- For a gluten-free version, serve the shakshouka over roasted sweet potato slices or cauliflower instead of toast.
