Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • chopped onion
  • bell peppers
  • garlic
  • tomatoes
  • 1 chili pepper
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • salt
  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. Get started by gathering all your fresh ingredients so you have everything ready for this delicious meal.

  2. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for about 5 minutes until they are beautifully soft and fragrant.

  3. While the vegetables cook, whisk together your tomatoes, chile pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl to create a flavorful sauce base.

  4. Stir the tomato mixture into your skillet and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together perfectly.

  5. Use a spoon to make four small "wells" in the sauce and gently crack an egg into each one; cover the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until the eggs are set just the way you like them.

  6. Your vibrant, homemade Shakshuka is ready—serve it warm and enjoy every bite!
