Simple Shakshuka – Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce

This shakshuka is simply fantastic, you guys. I couldn’t keep my hands off of it! I held back long enough to snap a few photos before I dug in. Literally. With crispy bread in each hand, I double dunked the heck outta this oh-so-simple shakshuka.

This is the first shakshuka I’ve made, but I am telling you right here – right now, that this isn’t going to be the last. Yeah, it is that tasty. I was inspired to try my own after finding this beautifully crafted post here from White on Rice Couple.

For this recipe, I went with poached eggs that were prepared separately. If my blog title doesn’t give it away already, I love, love, love a poached egg. However, the next time around the plan is to try a traditional shakshuka and cook the eggs in the tomato sauce {I will report back on my findings}.

What makes this dish so great? Beyond the delightfully unique flavor {thanks to the sweet paprika} this dish has all the components of your favorite comfort foods. First of all, this simple shakshuka’s primary delivery method is freshly grilled bread – can I get an amen!? Secondly, cheese. Need I say more? Lastly, it is all topped off with an ooey gooey runny yolk. Are you hungry yet?

I cannot think of a meal that this dish wouldn’t be perfect for. Seriously. Breakfast: Yes. Brunch: OBVIOUSLY. Lunch: Yeah, that sounds good. Dinner: I did it once and I’ll do it again.
