I am a fan of brunches. One day I was out with my friends having a lazy Sunday brunch, I thought of experimenting with Egg Shakshuka on the menu. Ever since I’ve been a fan of Egg Shakshuka. The well-balanced sweetness, acidity, and richness just blew my mind away. And pair it crunchy toast or Bagels and coffee and you will find yourself in heaven! I have made Egg Shakshuka so many times at home.
Here goes the recipe:

- Egg Shakshuka paired with some buttered toast or Bagels
- You can add a tablespoon of tomato sauce for color.
- You can skip the milk and add one teaspoon of cream, milk/cream makes the gravy have a good texture.
