  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add crushed tomatoes and cumin.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, stirring once. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Make 4 small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each, spacing them evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Cover the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Toast the bread slices in a dry skillet or toaster until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Slide the skillet off heat. Serve shakshuka hot with crispy bread for dipping.
