Print Recipe

A fast and flavorful shakshuka recipe made in one skillet with tomatoes, spices, eggs, and tangy feta, perfect for busy mornings and served with toast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper (red or yellow), diced
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Pinch of chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 75 g)
  • Handful fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 4 slices crusty bread (such as sourdough) for toast

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent and soft, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pepper softens.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add tomato paste, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Sprinkle in smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Make four small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well carefully.
  7. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and reduce heat to low. Cook for 6-8 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency.
  8. While eggs cook, toast the bread until golden and crisp.
  9. Once eggs are cooked, sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the top, followed by chopped parsley or cilantro.
  10. Serve immediately with toast on the side for dipping.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Adjust chili flakes to taste. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of water. Cover skillet tightly to cook eggs evenly. Toast bread last for best texture. Leftovers reheat well with added water to loosen sauce. For dairy-free, substitute feta with nutritional yeast or avocado.
