Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using an oven safe pan, saute the onion and peppers in the butter until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
2 tablespoons salted butter,
1 medium onion,
1 red pepper
Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant.
2 cloves garlic
Stir in the chicken broth, tomatoes, paprika, cumin.
1½ cups chicken broth,
1 cup crushed tomatoes,
1½ teaspoons smoked paprika,
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Continue to cook over medium heat for a few minutes to reduce the broth.
Mix in the tomato paste, chickpeas, salt and pepper and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6 tablespoons tomato paste,
1 teaspoon salt plus more for the eggs,
1 cup canned chickpeas,
black pepper
Take the pan off the heat. Make 5 wells in the sauce, then crack the eggs (whole) into the wells. Add salt and pepper to the eggs, if desired.
5 eggs
Put the pan in the oven and bake for about 8-12 minutes, until the eggs are of desired doneness.
Sprinkle feta crumbles and cilantro or parsley sprigs on top, optional, and serve hot.

Notes
Storage:
To Store: Leftover Shakshuka will keep in the refrigerator for 2–3 days if stored in an airtight container.
To Freeze: This dish should not be frozen.
Tips:
Keep an eye on the eggs at about the 8 minute mark. You can quickly lose the yokiness once it starts to finish cooking.
I recommend that the egg yolk be soft and the egg whites solid, but cook to your desired doneness.
Shakshuka is best served immediately. It’s not a great candidate for leftovers, since soft eggs will continue to cook if you reheat them.
