This quick, one-pan version of shakshuka delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Made with just six Trader Joe’s ingredients, it’s proof that healthy meals don’t have to be complicated. The combination of eggs, mushrooms, and spinach provides a satisfying balance of protein, antioxidants, and brain-supporting nutrients—while the tomato feta soup creates a creamy, tangy base that ties it all together. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this shakshuka is nourishing comfort food at its best. PS: For my 6 ingredients, I did not count the pantry staples or the optional sourdough bread.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • One 10-ounce bag frozen shiitake mushrooms
  • Half 6-ounce bag baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • One 20-ounce container, tomato feta soup
  • 4 to 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more to taste
  • 3 to 6 slices sourdough bread, optional
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the frozen mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they release their liquid and turn golden and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the spinach (I call for half a bag... but you can certainly add more) and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in the smoked paprika and cumin and sautée 1 more minute,
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the soup, Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Crack in the eggs, cover, and simmer over low heat until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with the feta and parsley and serve with sourdough and a drizzle of olive oil, as desired.
Notes
Depending on the number of eggs consumed, this recipe will make 3 to 6 servings.
