Make
- Optional step if you want to toast your pita. Heat oven or toaster oven to 350F / 177C degrees. Toast pita for 5 to 7 minutes when oven has warmed up.
- Heat up a skillet or saute pan that you have a lid for over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan and then onions and jalapenos with some salt. Saute for ~6 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
- Add in diced tomatoes (including liquid) with spice mix. Saute for ~4 minutes to let flavors come together
- Crack eggs directly into tomatoes. Lower heat to medium, cover, and cook for ~5 minutes, or until eggs are done to your liking.
- While eggs cook, arrange Mediterranean platter with pita, baby carrots, peppers, cucumbers and hummus.
- Top shakshuka with basil.
- Use pita to scoop up shakshuka and hummus. Dip veggies in hummus. Enjoy!

Needed more spice but super good! We added feta to the top as well to give a little extra flavor. Love this recipe so much!
0 HelpfulPretty good, but was missing parsley or cilantro. Going to try frying the eggs separately bc had a hard time getting the whites fullycooked without also getting the yolks.
0 HelpfulA little too spicy, but overall good! I would cut down on the chili powder or do jalapenos without seeds next time. Ate on top of sourdough
