Shakshuka (Baked Eggs in Spicy Tomato Sauce) is a delicious Israeli breakfast treat, which bakes up quickly in the oven.
Shakshuka (Baked Eggs in Spicy Tomato Sauce)
Shakshuka is a spicy baked egg dish, originally from North Africa. It is a favorite breakfast dish in Israel.
I love cooking it in a 10 inch Cast Iron Skillet. Make sure to heat the skillet before adding the oil!
The Feta Cheese is totally an optional ingredient. It adds a nice creaminess and pungent flavor to the dish.
