Classic Shakshuka

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add in onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and saute 5 to 7 minutes until onions are translucent.

Step 2

Add in garlic, cumin, and paprika and toast for 1 minute.

Step 3

Stir in diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Continue at a simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while you wait.

Step 4

Create 6 little nests in the tomato mixture to hold the eggs. Crack eggs into prepared holes.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook until eggs whites are set, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.  Serve hot with sliced bread or flat bread.
