Ingredients
2 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or whole wheat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Feta cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, including the juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Using the back of a spoon, create two small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust cooking time for your preferred egg consistency.
Place the toasted bread on plates. Spoon the shakshouka sauce and eggs over the toast.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, and optionally add crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately while warm.
