& Variations
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli cook for another minute.
Stir in the kale and spinach. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add in the fresh herbs, stirring until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.
Use a spoon to make small wells in the greens mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
Cook over low heat until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle feta cheese za’atar over the shakshuka.
Serve straight from the pan with warm Lebanese flatbread for dipping!

Why You'll Love This Recipe
One-Pan Wonder: Minimal cleanup means more time to enjoy your morning coffee.
Vibrant & Visual: The deep greens against the bright yellow yolks make this a stunning canvas for your breakfast table.
Super Fast: Go from prep to plate in just 20 minutes.
Versatile: It is a fantastic way to use up whatever leafy greens or soft herbs you have in the fridge.
The Perfect Scoop: Our soft, hand-stretched Lebanese Style Flatbreads are designed for tearing and sharing, making them the ideal tool for scooping up every last bit of runny yolk.
Key Ingredients
Kale and Spinach: These provide the earthy, nourishing base. If you want a milder flavor, you can swap kale for extra baby spinach or even chard.
Fresh Herbs: We love a mix of parsley and dill for brightness, but mint or coriander add a wonderful bold bite too.
Deli Kitchen Lebanese Style Flatbreads: These are the stars of the show! Super soft and authentic, they turn a simple pan of eggs into a hands-on feast.
Feta Cheese: Adds a salty, creamy tang. If you prefer a meltier texture, try dots of goat cheese or a sprinkle of halloumi.
Serving Suggestions
Add a Squeeze: A wedge of fresh lemon squeezed over the top right before eating cuts through the richness of the eggs.
Spice it Up: Drizzle with harissa oil or a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with garlic.
Crunch Factor: Sprinkle over toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds for an extra textural discovery.
Storage & Reheating
Shakshuka is always best enjoyed fresh from the pan while the yolks are runny. However, you can prepare the green base (the onion, garlic, and greens) up to two days in advance and store it in the fridge.
When you are ready for breakfast, simply reheat the greens in a pan, make your wells, and crack in fresh eggs.
We recommend warming your Deli Kitchen flatbreads in a dry pan for 30 seconds just before serving for that perfect straight from the oven feel.
