Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or ghee
  • 1 large leek, thinly sliced (white part only)
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 8 white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 small zucchini, grated
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups spinach, packed
  • 1 red chili pepper, or jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 ounces goat or sheep feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ large avocado, thinly sliced
  • 6 large pasture-raised eggs

Directions

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the leeks and onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the mushrooms and zucchini, stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut milk, turmeric, salt, and pepper and set aside.
  4. Remove the lid and add the chard, spinach, and chili pepper. Stir occasionally while frying for 5 minutes until the greens are softened. Pour in the coconut milk mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Create wells for each egg in the shakshuka veggie base using a spoon and carefully crack an egg into each well. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes or until the whites are still jiggly but set.
  6. Top with the feta crumbles, then cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with avocado slices and some extra fresh ground pepper if desired.
