ABOUT ShakShuka RECIPE

SHAKSHUKA …. in Israel Shakshuka means Breakfast. Baked eggs on a spicy bed of tomatoes and peppers is a famous Middle Eastern Breakfast. This delicious breakfast is healthy and keeps your tummy fill the whole day. Loaded with the goodness of veggies and eggs is a rich source of protien and vitamins. Shakshuka is normaly baked but can also be made on a stove top. The egg whites spread on the bed of tomato sauce and gives a foamy, cushion texture with runny yolks. I personally don’t like runny yolks hence, i chose to bake it a little more than the regular baking time. But you can keep it runny, it’s personal choice. Enjoy this healthy breakfast with some toasted breads or buns.
