Shakshuka

My favorite shakshuka recipe is quick and easy to make with a richly-seasoned tomato sauce and a sprinkling of tangy feta cheese.

Is there anything more comforting than a pan of bubbling tomato sauce cradling a few perfectly poached eggs? ♡

Shakshuka is one of those pantry-friendly, single-skillet, 20-minute meals that always magically tastes like so much more than the sum of its parts. All you need are a few basics — onion, garlic, canned tomatoes and some warm, smoky spices — and you’ve got a heavenly sauce that’s just begging for some eggs to be nestled right in. Absolutely perfect for scooping with a hunk of good crusty bread!

I love my shakshuka topped with a generous handful of tangy feta and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, but there are endless ways to customize this recipe to your liking. (Read on below for more ideas!) However you make your shakshuka, it’s one of those timeless, foolproof meals that I’m certain you’ll come back to again and again. Let’s simmer up a quick batch!
