About
Shakshuka hails from Northern Africa and is now fusing with the all-American casserole to make Shakshuka Casserole! A base of tender potatoes supports a spicy, herbaceous, rich tomato sauce with ponds of delightfully runny eggs, a welcome shakeup to the standard breakfast formula of eggs and ketchup. Plus, those potatoes at the bottom are essentially self-dipping, which is fantastic because you won't want to waste a drop of the sauce. Grab some toast or just your favorite spoon, because Shakshuka Casserole is hot and ready for you!
