Why Make This Shakshuka With Feta
This dish is incredibly good. The first time I had it was in New York, and I have been in love with it since. I like to use roasted red peppers for this one because it offers a lot more flavor than a raw sautéed red pepper. This dish is easy to make, full of flavors, and a great, filling breakfast. It pairs perfect with crispy toasted bread. You can use goat cheese or feta. You can also skip the cheese to keep it dairy free. I make mine in mini 5 inch skillets but you can also make this in a medium sized cast iron skillet and separate the portions out.
Shakshuka With Feta Ingredients
Olive Oil.
Onions.
Roasted Red Peppers. From the jar. You can also use fresh chopped red bell peppers.
Canned Crushed Tomatoes.
Seasoning. Salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, cumin
Eggs. 2-4 depending on skillet size
Feta. Or goat cheese.
Cilantro or Parsley. For fresh garish.
Bread. Optional for dipping!
Steps To Make Shakshuka With Feta
Step one. Preheat oven to 375°F degrees. Heat olive oil in a medium sized skillet (if you are making one bigger batch, use a medium sized cast iron skillet vs the mini single serving ones) over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 15 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and roasted red peppers cook for an additional 3 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Step Two. Pour the tomatoes, and add seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the tomato sauce thickens like a stew, about 10 minutes. Stir in the crumbled feta or goat cheese.
Step Three. If using single serve cast iron skillets, divide the Shakshuka With Feta mix up in each skillet. Otherwise in the medium cast iron skillet, create 4 small nests in the tomato and feta sauce. Gently crack the eggs into the skillet over the tomatoes in the nests formed within the cast iron. Sprinkle any extra cheese. Place the skillet in the oven to continue cooking until the eggs are set to your liking, about 8-12 minutes. Toast up bread during this time.
Step Four. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
