Shakshuka!

Ever since I first received cast-iron cookware, I have seen many people online making this tomato-sauce-and-eggs dish that looks wonderful and I never knew what it was.  After researching, I decided to make shakshuka for the first time last night!

I started it just like my normal tomato sauce... sautéing onions and garlic in oil.  I added crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, sweet peppers, fresh baby broccoli, and fresh spinach.  After letting all of that simmer together a bit, I crumbled some feta cheese on top and cracked some fresh eggs.  I popped it in the oven and let it bake... and it came out very nicely!  I meant to try and leave the yolks a little runny, but I let it bake a little too long.  Even though I cooked the yolks through, it came out to be delicious!  I served it with some garlic bread and it was definitely a comfort food!
