Step 1
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cumin and paprika, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Pour in crushed tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 5–6 minutes.
Step 4
Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, keeping yolks intact.
Step 5
Cover and cook until egg whites just set but yolks still jiggle, 4–5 minutes.
Step 6
Warm pita bread. Serve shakshuka hot with pita for dipping and yogurt sauce on the side.
