Instructions
Creating the Best Shakshuka Eggs with Feta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Spice It Up: Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
4. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Create Wells for Eggs: Using a spoon, make small wells in the sauce for the eggs.
6. Add Eggs: Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
7. Sprinkle Feta: Remove the lid and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the shakshuka. Allow it to warm slightly.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
These steps will guide you in crafting an incredible shakshuka that you and your guests will love!
