Cooking Notes

Liza

Yum. Made it with fewer eggs for dinner for two, will reheat remainder with fresh eggs for another meal.

Carolyn

Use petite diced tomatoes. Half pound turkey sausage is plenty. Could use black beans and go Mexican with cilantro.

Edie

Delish! Also used fewer tomatoes & added some chopped jalapeno. Made the entire dish less eggs earlier in day. Simply reheated it, added eggs and finished in oven. Will make again.

Jane

I always do these veggie and egg dishes, shakshuka etc by covering the pan and leaving it on the stove, skipping the oven. Seems simpler?

Very Good, Easy - Added A Little Spice

Found a way to get husband to eat & enjoy kale. Used fresh chorizo instead of Italian sausage that I had on hand, and I added cumin, paprika, chili powder, & cayenne-so good! Served w/ toasty warm flat bread.

Amanda C.

Everyone in the family loved this one! Baked for a bit longer than it says in the recipe to firm up the yolks. Also, used ground sweet Italian sausage vs. opening up cased sausage - it tasted great and was much simpler, too.

J

I made this vegetarian--simply omitted the sausage, without adding any relevant substitutions. Without sausage, it is hearty but needs a kick flavor-wise, some herbs and spice.

Virginia

Was delicious. Didn’t have fresh greens, so tossed in a liberal amount of freeze-dried spinach and guess what! It passed the 14-15- year old picking out all greens test! Woo hoo! We served with a crusty baguette and a baked Brie to round out.

Dan

Loved this! Simple and delicious. I skipped the sausage but added fennel, red pepper flakes, coriander, and paprika to give it some of the flavors absent due to lack of sausage. Served with some of Mark Bittman's flatbread and red wine.

John R.

Wow that was very good and very simple. Will definitely make it again. Followed the recipe. Next time I can foresee a Mexican version Chorizo, black beans, Queso fresco, onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Very hearty meal!

NancyK

Quick preparation for a weeknight meal. I used beet greens and the family loved it.

Sourcing your meats and dairy insures they have been raised in an earth friendly fashion. Or leave them out. Don't add the sausage, put olive oil on the bread. Eating chickpeas or beans is earth friendly, too. Both are good sources of protein, minerals and fiber along with the carbohydrates.Lighten up and use your imagination. Recipes aren't written in stone.

Add harissa. No sausage wd be fine

PJ

Made this for a weeknight dinner on a blustery night. In a word, fantastic! With a glass of wine and toast points, I felt like I was in Tuscany. I would simmer longer to reduce liquid and my eggs took a bit longer to set.

I love 1 skillet suppers that can be varied when they reappear on the menu.I used frozen chopped collards and added harissa seasoning and pinch of red pepper for a kick.Didn’t use entire 28 oz tomatoes.

jen

This is sooooo simple, yet absolutely delightful. I basically made as written -used 1/2 hot, 1/2 sweet sausage…petite diced tomatoes, and a had no fresh herbs so stirred in a dollop of pesto.

Anna

I made this for Christmas Day brunch and everyone thought it was fantastic. Opted for sweet Italian sausage, chickpeas, and baby spinach and used my favorite deep cast iron skillet. I also cooked the main mixture up little earlier and then cracked eggs in and baked right before meal time; takes a few extra minutes for the eggs to set as a result, but it helped with the timing of other meal prep. Easy to add an extra egg or two and it seems very customizable with other bean and green choices.

Shannon

Used black beans, diced tomatoes, a handful of chopped parsley, and eliminated the sausage for a perfect brunch with a vegetarian friend.

Aveline

Amazing recipe! I was in a pinch and ended up using bacon instead of sausage---still turned out really well! Definitely gave it more of a breakfast feel but I was happy with that.

S. G. Colson

This recipe is easy and delicious. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have leftovers. It's now become a frequent request and is easily 'adjustable'.

martha

This was fantastic and my teen boys approved. I used two lbs of sausage to satisfy my meat-loving husband, added thyme and Rosemary for a comforting, winter feel and served with crusty bread. Next time I’ll try with white beans instead of garbanzos.

Edward Germany

Used 1 can white beans 1 can garbanzo beans Also used Pfälzer Bratwurst (skinned) -4 pieces

Daniela

Definitely a great recipe for days I don’t have much time to cook. I followed the recipe exactly. Now I can see several possible variations. I love the smooth texture of the tomatoes contrasting with the sausage.

YiaYia

This is great with black beans too, tho personally I like my greens separate. Often I just nuke the washed & chopped greens (in the bowl they’ll be served in if you like) & serve with olive oil & lemon on the side. Broccoli rabe’s bitterness is a nice contrast to the richness of eggs.

Kathleen

Tasty.

BSD

The first time I made this I used chick peas and Italian sausage per the recipe. It was very good but my husband wasn't in love with the chick peas. Second time I used black beans, no sausage, home grown chard, eggs, etc. We ate it over rice and it was delicious. So simple and filling, and without sausage, a meat-free version, which is easier on the pocketbook and a tad healthier, too.

Seventhrae

Made vegan by substituting Impossible spicy sausage and Just Egg (from bottle). So hearty and satisfying!

BSD

Made this with lots of fresh chard from the garden and 1/3 lb ground mild Italian sausage I had in the freezer. I used a 15 oz can of chopped tomatoes (my husband doesn’t like the texture) and added some tomato paste from a tube and a little water to make more of the sauce. More or less poached the eggs in the mixture on the stove top in a cast iron skillet. I put a cover on the skillet for a few minutes to help things move along. This was absolutely delicious. Definitely making it again.

mosaic

Delicious and easy. I find frozen spinach just as pleasing as fresh in this dish.

Callan

I usually really like tomato-and-egg dishes (like shakshuka), but I think this recipe needs a few adjustments if I were to make it again. I found the tomatoes ended up a bit too watery, so I would either cook down the mixture longer before adding the eggs or use something like crushed canned tomatoes to give it a saucier, thicker consistency. I also thought it needed more spices/seasonings - maybe paprika, oregano, cumin, and/or harissa. I agree with others that it's a very adaptable recipe.
