Shakshuka eggs

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato-pepper sauce with butter, cumin, paprika, and a touch of cayenne. Use less crushed tomato than a full large can so the sauce stays thick; make small wells in the sauce before adding the eggs. Serve with whole-grain toast.

Shakshuka eggs

Ingredients

  • 14 oz (about 400 g) crushed tomatoes — half of a 28 oz can; use less if you want a thicker sauce
  • 3 tablespoons (42 g) butter
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) cayenne
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Whole-grain toast, for serving

Directions

  1. Dice the bell pepper and onion; mince the garlic.

  2. Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and bell pepper until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin, sweet paprika, and cayenne; cook about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the crushed tomatoes (half a large can — not the full 28 oz). Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. With a spoon, make six small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well.

  5. Cover the pan and cook on medium-low until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 5 to 8 minutes. Garnish with cilantro if using and serve straight from the pan with whole-grain toast.
