Description
Shakshouka Toast is a flavorful and hearty breakfast option that combines toasted bread with a rich shakshouka sauce topped with poached eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
- For a vegetarian-friendly option, omit the feta cheese garnish.
- Leftover shakshouka sauce can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
