Best Recipe for Moroccan Eggs with Flatbread and Goat Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 pieces flatbread, such as pita, naan or lavash
- 3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 12 ounces merguez sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium Spanish onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes, coarsely crushed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons harissa, depending on how spicy you want it
- 1 tablespoon ras el hanout (Moroccan spice blend)
- 1 teaspoon Spanish sweet smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Honey, as needed, optional
- 8 large eggs
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Wrap the flatbread in foil and place in the oven to warm while you are making the eggs.
- Heat the canola oil in a large, high-sided saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook until softened and lightly golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, harissa, ras el hanout, paprika and 1 cup of water to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and honey, if needed.
- Carefully crack the eggs over the mixture, sprinkle with the goat cheese, cilantro and parsley and cover with a lid for a few minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve the eggs and sauce in the pan with the warm flatbread on the side.
