Shakshuka! Seriously so delicious! I had my brothers in town for the wedding for a weekend in October and wanted to give them a tasty breakfast they’d never tried before. They loved this Shakshuka! So do I! It’s easy to make and tastes great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!
This shakshuka is made with tomatoes, red onion, garlic, za’tar spice blend, cumin, smoked paprika, harissa paste or chili peppers, salt and pepper and sriracha for a little heat! The eggs get poached in the savory sauce and then sprinkled with feta cheese. The yokes are perfectly runny and perfect for dipping bread in! It’s delicious!
I have two other variations of shakshuka on my blog as well. They are my garden shakshuka recipe HERE and my Italian shakshuka recipes HERE.
