17 -
½ cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh basil leaves or chopped herbs (optional)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Pour in crushed tomatoes, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until flavors meld. Season with salt and black pepper.
02 -
Heat chili oil or olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add half the crumbled feta and cook until it begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Crack half the eggs directly over the feta. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook until egg whites are set. Repeat with remaining feta and eggs.
03 -
Lightly toast bread slices. Spoon shakshouka sauce generously over each slice. Top each with a feta-fried egg. Drizzle with pesto and garnish with basil or herbs if desired.
04 -
Serve immediately while toast is warm, sauce rich, and eggs delectably runny.
