1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for garnish)
Preparation
Prepare the shakshuka base: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Simmer the sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Prepare the mini loaves: Cut off the top of each mini loaf and hollow out the inside, leaving about 2 cm of crust to form a sturdy bowl. Place the loaves on a baking sheet.
Assemble: Spoon the shakshuka mixture into each bread bowl. Make a small well in the center of each and crack an egg into it.
Bake: Bake at 475°F (245°C) until the eggs are set, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Garnish: Top with crumbled feta and chopped parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
Serve: Serve warm with the bread “lid” on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
In a large bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
In another large bowl, mix the eggs and milk and set aside.
Flatten the croissant loaf slices with a rolling pin, then spread with cream cheese. Next, add a bit of apple pie filling and gently roll the slices. They should be rolled tightly enough to hold together during cooking.
Dip the rolls in the egg and milk mixture and cook them in a buttered skillet over medium heat.
Once the rolls are cooked, place them in the sugar mixture to coat them well.
In a skillet, melt the butter with the crushed chili flakes for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
Spread one side of the bread slices with the chili butter. Place the buttered side down in the same skillet as in the first step.
On one of the slices, add the goat cheese, cheddar, and honey, then close the sandwich with the other slice of bread. To aid in cooking, you can cover the skillet with its lid.
After about 5 minutes, remove the lid and drizzle honey on the sandwich.
