Smoky Shakshuka is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. This Middle Eastern-inspired dish is made with eggs, tomatoes, and a variety of spices, giving it a smoky and savory flavor that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
To make Smoky Shakshuka, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 2 eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
To start, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the red bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the canned diced tomatoes and stir again.
Using a spoon, make two small wells in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread or pita.

The dish is visually appealing, with the bright red of the tomatoes and the yellow of the egg yolks contrasting against each other. The taste is even better than the appearance, with the smoky and spicy flavors of the dish perfectly complementing the creamy and rich egg yolks.
