Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Make four wells in the tomato sauce using a spoon.
  6. Carefully crack one egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a broiler for a few minutes to cook the eggs.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier shakshuka, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can add crumbled feta cheese on top before serving for extra flavor.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
