    There are certain types of egg recipes that I will eat, and eat, and eat. This is a make-it-more-than-five-times kind of  meal for me. Aaaand it can be versatile and it is colorful and it is flavorful and the smell is heavenly.

    There are so much about this one pot cozy and colorful dish. From the pan-fried potatoes to the green peppers, the soft and creamy eggs WITH THE CHEESE melted over the top, and do not forget the little naughty jalapeno kisses  which I - personally- loved the most.

        It is the four cheese blend, if you do not have it you can use Mozzarella cheese.

      Love eggs, but not so much for breakfast (I'm rarely that hungry in the morning). Dinner is when I most enjoy them, so this is perfect! Neat dish -- love one-skillet dishes. Thanks!

        Joh, I am usually very hungry in the morning but still I feel having something with loads of onions and/or garlic is a bit too much for breakfast, I prefer this over lunch or dinner. Thanks for stopping by.

      Your egg potato and cheese casserole is a different variation of shkshooka?

        Nimet, you can consider it so although we do not add cheese to shakshouka, it tastes wonderfully with Za'atar. I have another variation of shakshouka that is very popular in Egypt, if you are interested you can check it out here. Thanks for your interest in the recipe I hope you'll try it.
