Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb tomato sauce Raos’ is one of my favorite brands
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 cups collards spines removed and chopped (if not a lover, try kale or spinach!)
  • 1/2 cup basil fresh, chopped (optional)
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet with sides over medium heat. Add collards and sautĂ© until softened and bright green – about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Add tomato sauce and stir.
  • Using the back of a large spoon, make 6 dips in the sauce, then crack an egg into each one. Make sure heat is low then cover and cook until eggs are cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  • If you prefer, you can scramble eggs into shakshuka too. Just make sure eggs are completely cooked before serving.
  • Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil if desired.
