Have you ever heard of Shakshuka? This easy Stovetop Shakshuka Mediterranean recipe features poached eggs in a sweet tomato sauce with some delicious spices! If you have seen those YouTube commercials for Canadian eggs you have seen this recipe! They promote having eggs for dinner!
We love to have this recipe for brunch with some toasted bread, but it is so tasty you can have it any time of the day!
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE
Eggs for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner? Do I need to say more! The sweetness of the tomato sauce and the basil is an amazing mix for this easy stovetop Shakshuka recipe.
Typically I have seen people put their pan in the oven to poach the eggs for this recipe, but I wanted to make a simpler recipe. Using the lid on the pan works just as well to make this stovetop shakshuka.
TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
- For this recipe, I used my favourite tomato sauce. It has very few ingredients and very rice in taste. I’ve linked it here. If you don’t have tomato sauce on hand you can use a can of tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or even fresh tomatoes. You will just need to boil your chopped tomatoes down to a sauce
- I like to eat my eggs over hard, so this recipe time is for cooking the eggs the entire way through. If you like your eggs a bit runny, then reduce the poaching time
- I love to top this recipe with fresh basil and fresh black peppercorn
