High Protein Shakshuka Recipe

There are breakfasts that keep you full for an hour, and then there are meals that actually carry you through your morning. This High Protein Shakshuka falls into the second category.

Most people think of shakshuka as something you order at brunch, but it is surprisingly simple to make at home. Eggs slowly cook in a rich tomato sauce and soak up all the flavor while feta adds a creamy, salty finish.

For this version, I wanted something that felt like comfort food while adding more protein without relying on powders or processed ingredients. The protein is already built into the marinara sauce, which turns a classic shakshuka into a more filling meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
