This powerfully tasty spin on shakshuka oven poaches eggs in collard greens, tomatoes, and jalapeno. It’s topped off with creamy goat cheese and makes a great breakfast to kickstart your day. This one-pan southern shakshuka makes for quick preparation and even faster cleanup.
The collard greens and tomato make a hearty base for the poached eggs. I don’t know about you, but poaching eggs in boiling water can feel a little intimidating. That’s why I love this method for making them in the oven with the sauce.
