Your new favorite brunch! This Homemade Shakshuka is an easy to make one pan dish of poached eggs in a flavorful tomato, pepper sauce!
4. The number of times I’ve made this recipe in 2 weeks. That’s right. Four. That’s how much I love this Homemade Shakshuka. Breakfast. Brunch. Lunch. Dinner. I’ve had it for each and each was deeelicious.
What is Shakshuka?
Shakshuka, “a mixture” in Arabic, in is a poached egg dish or simmered tomatoes with chilies, onion, garlic, and the delicious flavors of cumin and paprika. It may sound fancy, but it’s super easy. Like can-throw-together-on-a-week-night-with-two-under-three kind of easy, easy. All it takes:
- Eggs
- Diced tomatoes
- Anaheim peppers
- onion
- garlic
- spice blend of cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt
- feta cheese – oh hey did you know your can make your own feta?!
What’s better than poached eggs? How about a one dish pan that takes time to simmer away on it’s own. Helloooo low maintenance. Which is totally the name of the game in our house.
Can we talk about how the anahiem peppers bring just the right amount of heat? The tomatoes the right amount of acidity? The feta the perfect amount of salty cheesiness? And that perfectly poached egg? That just speaks for itself.
Oh hey, remember that Garlic Naan From Scratch we just made? Talk about a match made in heaven…
See that yolk? See that naan? See the feta with tomatoes seasoned to perfection? That’s what I call make it 4 times in 2 weeks kind of good, GOOD.
So do yourself a favor and MAKE THIS. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Have I mentioned I’ve made it 4 times in 2 weeks? š
Enjoy, friends!

This is one of my favourite things to make when we have Breakfast for Dinner. Always a hit. Easy to make and so delicious. Takes the humble egg to a higher level. Great for feeding a crowd at brunch too.
I love a good shakshuka for both brunch and dinner. It’s such a great dish to serve with a pile of naan bread, as you’ve suggested and I love that it’s jam-packed with spice and umami! This recipe is a fantastic year-round menu option!
Nice and filling and I totally recommend taking the time to make the Naan too! What a delicious meal for guests. Next time I’ll try making my own feta!
Such gorgeous flavours in one pot! We absoltely love having shakshouka for a weekend breakfast treat, and this version is just perfection! So easy too once you get going
This is an awesome family breakfast. I love a dish that everyone (including the cook) gets to sit down together to eat. The spices in this sauce are totally in my flavor profile too. Pinning for next weekend. Thanks.
We’re going to be hosting my parents and my in-laws soon after baby arrives, and I’ve been looking for some good brunch recipes. This will be perfect! Seem easy enough to create a double batch. And you can’t beat a one-pan meal. Especially in the midst of such chaos. Haha.
Ooooh love shakshuka as an easy meal! We always keep those mini naans around and those are perfect. I’m going to try this with those anaheim peppers!
We love shakshuka for breakfast, brunch, and dinner! It’s such a cozy and satisfying dish, and I love how easily it comes together (but sounds so fancy!) Your photos are so tempting, too. I just want to dive into those beautiful egg yolks with a fork!
