  3. Season with pepper, make 3 gaps in the mix and crack in the eggs.
  4. Cover the pan with a lid or a sheet of foil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Serving Suggestion: Any tomatoes you may have on hand could be used in this recipe. Larger tomatoes would need to be roughly diced before adding to the frypan. Additional vegetables can also be added or swapped such as capsicum, red onion, baby spinach and herbs including oregano, parsley or coriander.

Storage: Leftover Shakshuka Eggs can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help wash the tomatoes or slice the mushrooms.
