Tasted like a fancy breakfast! I added some feta cheese on top, and it was delish!
Yum! Feta sounds like a great addition! I’ll have to try that next time! 🥗
I dunno, sounds kinda weird. Eggs and tomatoes? But if you like it, that’s cool.
It’s good, but the eggs were too runny for my taste. Next time I’ll cook them longer.
I think I messed it up. My sauce got burnt and the eggs were hard. Gotta try again.
Maybe you left it on the stove too long? Eggs should be runny, not rock hard. Better luck next time!
Don’t be too hard on yourself! Cooking can be tricky sometimes. Just remember to keep an eye on the heat next time. You got this!
Shakshuka? More like Shak-shook-my-head, idk why people like it.
You gotta try it before judging! It’s packed with flavor and perfect for brunch. Just saying!
I don’t get it either! It looks so messy and has that weird runny egg thing going on. Yuck!
This was amazing! The flavors were spot on and it was super easy to make.
