Description
Shakshouka Toast is a hearty and flavorful dish featuring poached eggs nestled in a rich tomato sauce, served over crispy toast. It combines savory, spicy, and satisfying flavors, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
2 slices 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 bread slices to your desired level of crispness and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using), and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Use the back of a spoon to create two small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Place toasted bread on plates. Spoon the shakshouka sauce and eggs over the toast. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and top with feta cheese (optional).
Notes
For a spicier dish, add more cayenne pepper or jalapeños.
Customize with your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach, or eggplant, for added texture.
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with tofu or avocado slices.
