Harissa Tomato Sauce

  • 2 tbsp harissa paste adjust to heat preference
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs

Whipped Goat Cheese

  • 4 oz fresh goat cheese (chèvre) room temperature
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For Serving

  • 2 tbsp fresh mint or parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp za'atar
  • 4 slices crusty sourdough bread, toasted

Instructions
 

  • Make the whipped goat cheese: Beat together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt with a fork or hand mixer until fluffy and smooth. Spread onto serving plates and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Stir in harissa paste, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in crushed tomatoes and season with salt. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Create 4 wells in the sauce using a spoon. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  • Remove plates with whipped goat cheese from refrigerator. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar.
  • Carefully spoon the harissa sauce and eggs over the whipped goat cheese. Garnish with fresh mint or parsley. Serve immediately with toasted sourdough bread.
