Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in cumin and paprika, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 5–6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, keeping yolks intact.

  5. Step 5

    Cover and cook until egg whites just set but yolks still jiggle, 4–5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Warm pita bread. Serve shakshuka hot with pita for dipping and yogurt sauce on the side.
