Shaksuka Baked Eggs

Baked eggs is such a simple dish but so satisfying. If you keep the yolks runny and have a few slices of bread handy to mop up the sauces, nothing is better.

Shaksuka is sometimes served as a brunch or lunch dish but in Israel, it’s a breakfast dish. It’s usually served in a skillet with the eggs, sunny side up, resting on a tangy tomato and red pepper sauce. You can spice up the sauce as you like.

Try this. It makes for a zingy wake up in the morning.
