Quick Shakshuka Ingredients

2 eggs

4 tomatoes, medium-sized pieces

Two medium onions, chopped into medium pieces

Your favorite spices (I added coriander, cumin, turmeric, and pepper)

Salt and pepper

Tomato sauce

Brie cheese (an addition, not mandatory, but it added a delicious flavor to the eggs)

olive oil

How to make shakshuka

In a pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onion until softened.

Add the tomato sauce and stir for three minutes.

Then add the chopped tomatoes and spices, and cook the mixture over low heat for five minutes with the pan covered until the sauce thickens.

Uncover the lid, then add the eggs directly on top of the sauce, and re-cover the pan until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Brie cheese is optional; place pieces of it on top of the eggs a few minutes before they are cooked so they melt slightly.

Serve the shakshuka on a slice of toast and enjoy it with fresh orange juice.

With happiness and well-being

Note: Before adding the eggs, if there is too much tomato sauce at this step, you can keep the amount you need and the rest will be for the shakshuka.
