I should have submitted a picture, this was so beautiful. Unfortunately we ate it too quickly. Absolutely delicious! Reminds me of Huevos Perricos that my husband's Colombian family eats. I just halved the recipe for the two of us and ate it with toast but was thinking that next time we will toast some pita, add oil and garlic to make it like a garlicky pizza and top with Shakshuka.

A most enjoyable way to eat an egg! Yummy flavor and didn't have pita bread, but that would be a great way to scoop up the juices with. Thanks Kate! Made for PRMR.
