Equipment

  • Cast-iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 14.5 oz. can of fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • Dash of salt & pepper
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • Chopped parsley optional
  • Toasted pita bread optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet (preferably cast-iron, 10" if possible) over medium heat. Add the teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Once heated, scrape in the diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic cloves. SautĂ© the vegetables for 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the can of fire-roasted tomatoes—the full can, do not drain the juices. Mix the vegetables, then let them simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Using a spoon, create four divets in the tomato mixture. Crack the eggs gently into each divet. Use the spoon to carefully scoop a little bit of the tomato sauce mixture on top of the egg whites.
  • Sprinkle the shakshuka with a dash of salt and pepper, then move the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. The eggs may still jiggle a bit as you take them out, this is okay! You don't want to overcook them.
  • Sprinkle with feta cheese and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with toasted pita bread in bowls.
