TIPS
If you are not milk-free, the feta or goat cheese crumbs above are a delicious addition. Traditionally it is also served with ribbons, but I like to serve it with avocado slices.
Many photos online show shakshuka cooked in an iron skillet. Tomatoes are acidic and can erode seasoning on your iron skillet and also finish it. You can also get a little metallic taste for this dish. So I suggest not to take risks and cook it in a stainless steel skillet, like the beauty of this All Clad.
