Ingredients
Scale
For the Shakshouka:
- 4 slices crusty sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
For Serving:
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
- Prepare the Shakshouka: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened, then add garlic and bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.
