SHAKSHUKA-INSPIRED BREAKFAST WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Inspired by the traditional Israeli Shakshuka, this breakfast twist features sautéed vegetables topped with softly scrambled eggs instead of baked whole eggs. It’s a flavorful and comforting morning meal served with toasted bread.


🕒 Prep Time: 10 min

🍳 Cook Time: 15 min
🍽️ Servings: 2-3


Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 3 large ripe tomatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of chili powder (optional)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add chopped onions and sliced bell peppers, cooking gently until softened.
  2. Meanwhile, score tomatoes at one end, blanch for 30 seconds, peel, and dice.
  3. Add diced tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and chili powder (or other spices like oregano, thyme, or basil). Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing tomato juices to reduce slightly.
  4. Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Pour eggs around the edges of the skillet and stir quickly to scramble them softly into the vegetable mixture.
  5. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
