Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to a burst of Mediterranean sunshine! My Sunrise Shakshuka takes the classic baked feta egg concept and elevates it with a vibrant blend of flavors and textures. Imagine creamy feta melting into juicy tomatoes and sweet red onions, all while cradling a perfectly baked egg. This dish is not only incredibly delicious but also surprisingly simple to whip up, making it the perfect weekend brunch or a quick yet satisfying weeknight dinner.
