Shakshouka Toast is a hearty and flavorful dish featuring eggs gently cooked in a rich, spiced tomato sauce and served with crispy toasted bread. Inspired by Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, it makes a satisfying breakfast, brunch, lunch, or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  5. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Create four small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness, about 5–8 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Spoon the shakshouka mixture over the toast or serve the toast alongside for dipping.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Add spinach, kale, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • Increase the red pepper flakes or add fresh chili peppers for more heat.
  • Stir in cooked sausage or chickpeas for a heartier meal.
  • Try goat cheese or mozzarella instead of feta for a different flavor profile.
  • Store leftover shakshouka mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Prepare fresh toast just before serving for the best texture.
  • The tomato sauce can be made ahead and reheated before adding fresh eggs.
