Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes or until becoming translucent. Add the bell pepper, garlic and salt and continue sautéing for 3 more minutes or until vegetables have softened.

Add the smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and sauté for 1 minute to toast the herbs. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes and stir the sauce until combined. Simmer the sauce over medium low for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.

Using the back of a large spoon make 4 indents spaced out in the sauce and gently crack eggs into these “wells”. Cook the eggs and sauce for 5-6 minutes or until the whites are set and the eggs yolks are still jiggly. If you want your egg yolks fully cooked through cook for a total of 8-9 minutes.

Serve in bowls with toast and sliced avocado if desired or eat right out of the skillet like we do.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Create Shallow Wells for Perfect Egg Nesting 🥚Use the back of a spoon to create small shallow indentations in the tomato sauce before cracking eggs into them, preventing them from spreading and ensuring even cooking with runny yolks.
- Reduce Tomato Sauce Before Adding Eggs 👨🍳Simmer the tomato-spice mixture for 8-10 minutes before adding eggs to concentrate flavors and reduce excess liquid, preventing watery shakshuka and achieving the ideal sauce consistency.
- Bloom Spices in Hot Oil First 🌶️Toast your cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika in olive oil for 30-45 seconds before adding onions and garlic to unlock their essential oils and maximize their aromatic impact throughout the dish.
- Add Feta at the Perfect Moment ⏱️Crumble feta cheese over the shakshuka during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking so it softens slightly without completely melting, maintaining its distinctive tangy flavor and creamy texture.
- Cover and Steam for Yolk Control 🫕Place a lid on the pan after adding eggs and reduce heat to low; this traps steam and cooks eggs gently from above while keeping whites set and yolks perfectly runny in about 5-7 minutes.
