This shakshuka recipe is an easy version of the popular Middle Eastern poached egg dish. I love shakshuka — it's delicious, healthy, and makes a satisfying breakfast or brunch. I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh, which means I can make it whenever I want with ingredients from my pantry!

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, paprika, and jalapeños; stir, using the back of a spoon to break up the tomatoes. Simmer for about 25 minutes.

Poach the eggs in the sauce until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 ½ to 3 minutes. If the tomato sauce gets dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon, place onto a warm plate, and serve with the tomato sauce and pita bread.
