Low Carb Shakshuka with Goat Cheese

39 ratings

If you’ve never had shakshuka before, this is the recipe you must try! This is an easy Keto breakfast that you can make in under 40 minutes. That’s right, it’s simpler than you think! Saute your vegetables in a pan with tomato sauce, crack eggs into the pan, then bake it all together to finish it. Some crumbled goat cheese on top is the perfect final ingredient to add. This recipe is particularly best to make for a group since multiple servings are in one pan. However, you can store leftovers for a few days, so you could always keep extra for yourself too.

What is coriander?

Depending on where you live, you may or may not recognize the name coriander. Coriander is another name for cilantro! Coriander seeds refer to cilantro seeds and regular coriander refers to cilantro leaves.

What is shakshuka?

Shakshuka is a delicious breakfast dish (although it can be made any time of day) cooked and baked in an oven-safe pan. Shakshuka is always made with tomato sauce, chopped vegetables, garlic, and eggs. Other spices can be added to the tomato sauce. You can add cheese to shakshuka or other vegetables that you like.

Can I keep leftovers?

You can store leftover shakshuka! Let the shakshuka cool in the pan before you store it away. Keep leftover shakshuka in airtight containers in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply microwave to reheat or reheat the shakshuka in a pan on your stove. Keep in mind that your egg will cook more as it gets reheated.

    Wow, did not expect this to taste so good. Non keto family members want it again!

      Good ingredients, but the portion size definitely needs some work. If you stick to these measurements, you won’t get a normal size meal. The taste is not something to write home about… Also, this is just an omelette with goat cheese, shakshuka is a an eggplant dish.

        So delicious!!!! Will definitely be making this regularly.

          This was really good!! It actually surprised me because I'm not a huge fan of certain spices and neither is my husband. But the flavors are subtle. I crumbled herbed goat cheese on top before it was done and I didn't put it in the oven. I left it on medium and covered it to cook the top of the eggs. Will definitely be making this again!

            It is called the keto diet. Diet usually means you’re cutting back and not eating the same amount of food you have been eating previously. Two eggs plus vegetables so it’s more than enough for me

              I’ve found that I’m eating more than I did before starting Keto but I’m just eating the right foods.

            Taste is great but 1 serving was not enough as a meal for me.

              This is delicious. As long as you prepare all of the ingredients in advance, it's not too bad for assembly and cooking effort. I skipped the oven step and simply cooked the eggs on the stovetop. Worked great for me and it was easier to get the eggs the doneness I prefer. I'll be making this at least a couple times a month!!

                      Definitely worth a try. I grew up with a dish where you layered slice cheese on a plate and drizzled milk over the top so it just covered the cheese. Popped in an oven and baked until cheese had really melted and had lovely crispy edges. Take out of oven, drain any whey off. Layer tomato slices on top. Break a couple of eggs over the top. Back in oven and bake again. Both are really great ways to enjoy eggs!

                            This was very yummy!! I topped with Mediterranean Feta Cheese and used pureed Parsley and Cilantro that I had pre-prepared and frozen. Still took about 1 hour to make...but I added to my favorites- it does make 4 servings- yeah!

                                  This was amazing! This dish can be a tad salty depending on who eats it, but if you cut back the salt it still taste great. You can smell the great Middle Eastern fragrance throughout the house which made me even more curious about the taste. I swapped the yellow pepper for a red pepper and used dried herbs. Definitely will make this again!

                                    Very tasty, will add to my favorites. I did cut the salt back to 1/4 tsp. And the oil to 2 tbsp

                                              I grew up with this. My spice mix is a bit different but similar. Yummy.
