I decided to switch up my Saturday morning breakfast from my typical “grits and eggs” to something a little more interesting.  I’m sure I had this dish when I spent a week in Tunisia in 2006. Pretty much everything I ate in Tunisia was amazing. There was so much care put into each dish! Often, my friend and I would be the only two people in a restaurant, and the cooks and servers would do everything possible to attempt to please us.

Fortunately, this particular dish is seriously simple! It’s also incredibly versatile and works for either breakfast or a simple lunch or dinner. Serve it alongside some pita bread or naan.

Saute red bell pepper and onion in a cast iron skillet Add garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and diced tomatoes and simmer Add eggs, then transfer the cast iron skillet into the oven and bake until eggs are at desired doneness how to make shakshuka

I am a lawyer-turned-baker. 
I left my 9-5 office job because I wanted to create recipes, videos, and most of all—Bake! I won the Great American Baking Show, and my debut cookbook Life Is What You Bake It contains some of the winning recipes! My motto is simple: When life gives you lemons, make lemon curd. We have the power to turn tart situations into sweet ones, and it’s my mission to teach people how.
