A bold, flavorful twist on classic shakshouka, served on crispy toast with fried eggs and crumbled feta.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Shakshouka Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • For the Feta Fried Eggs:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • For the Toast:
  • 2 slices of sourdough or rustic bread
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for toasting)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Make the Shakshouka Sauce
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened (3–4 minutes).
  • Stir in garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Step 2: Fry the Eggs with Feta
  • Heat butter or olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Crack in eggs, then sprinkle crumbled feta around the eggs.
  • Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (3–4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Toast
  • Toast the bread in butter or olive oil until golden and crispy.
  • Spread a layer of shakshouka sauce on each toast.
  • Top with a feta-fried egg and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Notes

  • Want extra crunch? Rub the toast with a garlic clove after toasting.
  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or drizzle with harissa.
  • Vegan option: Use scrambled tofu instead of eggs and plant-based feta.
  • Serving suggestion: Pairs well with a simple side salad or roasted potatoes.
