Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until soft, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cumin, then add canned tomatoes with juices. Simmer uncovered for 4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Make 4 small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
Step 4
Cover and cook over medium until egg whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly, 4–5 minutes.
Step 5
While eggs cook, warm falafel in a skillet or toaster oven per package instructions, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Warm pita bread directly over a stovetop flame or in a skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft.
Step 7
Divide shakshuka between two bowls. Serve with warm pita and 3 falafel pieces per person on the side.
