Feta Cheese Shakshuka with Toasted Sourdough Bread
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4-6 large eggs
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Using a spoon, create small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into the wells. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the shakshuka, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- While the shakshuka is baking, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
- Once the shakshuka is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot with the toasted sourdough bread on the side for dipping.
