A vibrant, one-pan breakfast featuring poached eggs nestled in a zesty tomato and red pepper sauce, finished with creamy feta and fresh herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until softened and the onion is translucent.
Don't rush the onions; letting them get a little golden adds natural sweetness.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toast the spices for about a minute until they smell incredible.
Toasting spices in oil unlocks their full flavor profile!
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then fold in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce.
If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of water.
Use the back of a spoon to create four small wells in the sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
Crack eggs into a small bowl first to ensure no shells get into your beautiful sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Keep a close eye on them; they go from runny to hard-boiled quickly!
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley before serving directly from the skillet.
A squeeze of fresh lemon right at the end adds a lovely zesty pop!
This shakshuka-inspired dish is a family favorite because it's so forgiving. If you don't have fresh spinach, kale or chard work beautifully too! Serve it with a thick slice of crusty sourdough or warm pita to soak up every bit of that golden yolk and spiced tomato sauce. Healthy made easy!
