Instructions

preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

layer on any cheese you are using onto the egg mixture
combine Shakshuka spice tomato sauce and paste, thoroughly
pour into the pastry shell
egg-wash the edge of the pastry or if using puff pastry, brush the exposed puff pastry with olive oil, so it doesn't burn.
bake in the oven at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes, on a lower oven rack.
remove from the oven, make three indentations and crack the eggs into the top of the dish.
this is a great time to taste the sauce and optionally sprinkle a little extra Shakshuka spice on each egg.
return to the oven until your eggs are done to your liking.

Garnish with fresh herbs, micro greens and a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve hot with crusty bread or pita, a big green salad.
