Shakshuka with feta is an easy one-pan vegetarian Mediterranean egg recipe you’re going to want to add to your recipe folder for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Eggs are simmered in a tomato-based sauce with peppers, onions, and warm spices. Then, it’s topped with melty feta cheese.
Shakshuka is a common Tunisian breakfast recipe, but versions of it can be found all over the Mediterranean- across North Africa, all the way to Italy (where it’s more commonly called eggs in purgatory). Common other spellings include Chakchouka and Shakshouka.
First, there’s a simple tomato sauce, boosted with sautéed onions and peppers and savory spices (cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper, and cilantro). Then, eggs are cracked directly into the sauce and simmered until cooked to your liking. Crumbled feta cheese is sprinkled on top of the shakshuka and melts into every warm bite.
It’s perfect served with crusty bread or pita. And while traditionally a breakfast food, I love it any time of day!
Best of all, you only need 25 minutes and one pan to make it!
