Where have you been all my life dear eggs , poached in simmering tomato sauce, made using just one pan?

I am telling you this egg recipe is life changing!

The most important part is the egg timing. If you keep it for a long time and move away to check your Instagram or email then the yolk will be dry and hard, and if you turn the heat off too soon you will end up with a runny egg white and yolk.

With a little bit of practice, I have managed to narrow down the timing to about 8-9 minutes as soon as you crack in those eggs.

This works for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Actually, you can play with this recipe, add in more colorful bell peppers, mushrooms and make it for brunch.

Throw this on top of a crunchy toast and ahh.. you are in business!

This dish is popular in Israel and is known as ‘Shakshouka’ which means eggs poached in tomato sauce with onions and flavored with cumin powder. (Thank you google)

I love this concept and  is becoming one of my go to dishes.

Enjoy!
