Happy 2019! I hope everyone had a safe and healthy New Year’s Eve. I am starting 2019 with this healthy brunch dish… shakshuka!

Shakshuka…it is just fun to say! It is a popular Middle Eastern dish, but has been making way into American restaurants. I first had this dish when I visited my friend in Los Angeles (L.A), this past March. My friend Taylor is a traveling nurse and for a few months was placed in L.A. So my friend Kimmy and I decided to visit her! We went hiking, ate all the good food (see below), visited Malibu winery, checked out roof top bars, went on a Warner Bros Studio tour, drank more wine, checked out Santa Monica beach, explored Venice, and much more!

Just a few places we ate at:

At Republique, I had this delicious Shakshuka filled with Middle Eastern flavors, eggs, cream, fresh herbs, and a crisp roll. This was my first time trying this dish and I loved it! I decided to re-create the dish. In my shakshuka, I eliminated the cream and large roll. Instead, I focused on the produce, eggs, and with a side of garlic naan bread. Super easy and fresh for brunch or even dinner!
