This dish is really easy and quick to pull together. It would be a great brunch recipe…or if you’re like me and eat eggs at any meal of the day try it for lunch or dinner. It is even delicious reheated in the microwave.
Try to use good quality, and organic, ingredients in this dish so the flavors really shine through.
Moroccan Eggs are usually made with Harissa, a spicy sauce used in North African cuisine, but I simplified this recipe but just using a touch of cayenne pepper (or you could use dried hot pepper flakes). You can make this as spicy as you’d like, without sacrificing flavor.
Moroccan Eggs
Author: 24 Carrot Life
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (or 28 oz. can chopped tomatoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red chili flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs, preferably organic
- chopped parsley (to garnish)
- crusty bread, toasted
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add onion and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add tomatoes and cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes.
- Once tomato juice has cooked off, add cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Using the back of a large cooking spoon, make a divet for each egg. Crack eggs one by one into a separate bowl to make sure there are no shell pieces. Slowly add one egg into each divet, repeating separately with each egg.
- Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the egg whites are cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with toasted bread for dipping.

This reminds me of Shakshouka!!! My fav israeli eggs. I’m actually working on a healthier version but my egg poaching skills are an epic failure. In the meantime I think I can handle this 馃檪
Yes, very similar to Shakshouka. I think the only difference is the spices used? You can totally handle this!
Love this Katie, breakfast for dinner coming right up 馃檪
Always my go-to when I don’t know what else to cook! Thanks Emma!
looks like the best breakfast. eggs normally look kinda BLAA, but these look amaazing x
Thanks, Trisha!
This looks delicious! I love making a similar dish and wrapping it up in tortillas for a simple, dish dish meal. Mmmm!
Ooh I love the idea of swapping tortillas for the crusty bread. Great way to switch things up, Shelly!
All of the absolutely BEST INGREDIENTS in one dish! I could eat this morning, noon and night… And as a midnight snack, and around 10 am oh and of course around 3 pm too! ha ha! 馃槈
haha love the enthusiasm and completely agree!
Saw this on Pinterest yesterday and thought it looked delicious! When I read the ingredients, I thought “this can’t be THAT good, it’s just tomatoes and egg!” Made it just now and it was delicious!! Easy and healthy. The eggs made it have a rich creaminess and this is definitely a keeper recipe for quick weekend breakfasts!
So glad you liked it, Amber! It’s a simple but delicious one.
I make this too! It’s really good and easy to make. Beautiful photographs!
These we so good. Thank you for sharing.
I used diced tomatoes with italian seasoning and left out the cayenne since my kids were eating it. Loved by all and so much flavor.
Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed them, Jenny!
