Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion, cook until softened and translucent, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in crushed tomatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3
Make 4 small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
Step 4
Cover the skillet and cook until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle when shaken, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Toast pita bread in a dry skillet or toaster oven while eggs cook, ~2 minutes per side.
Step 6
Slide shakshuka onto plates. Serve with warm pita and coffee on the side.
