    This Easy Stovetop Shakshuka (poached eggs in savory tomato stew) paired with crusty bread is perfect. It only takes 30 minutes and is made entirely in one pan. It's my favorite easy meal to make for breakfast and dinner.

    Shakshuka is a north North Africa dish that is growing in popularity. Over the past few years I've seen it in many restaurants and featured in magazines. I love making it at home. It's so easy, and it's kind of fun to cook the eggs in the tomato sauce. Those runny egg yokes are so good!

    TRICKY BITS

    I experimented, and I found the combo of 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 can of petite diced tomatoes made the best Shakshuka. The tomato stew is thick and chunky, perfect for eating with your eggs and scooping up with bread! After you add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes to the pan, cook for 7-9 minutes till it thickens up a little. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add water to thin it out.
