Shakshouka with Feta

Spicy Chickpea Shakshouka with imported Feta and Appenzeller Toast

Cooking w/Julie
Shakshouka (or “stew” in Middle Eastern slang!) is wonderful for a savory brunch, lunch, or speedy weeknight supper! Sautéed tomatoes, chickpeas, and roasted peppers are topped with slow simmered eggs and creamy-tart imported Feta. Perfect for dipping and scooping with crispy toast; especially when topped with nutty imported Appenzeller as we do here!
