Equipment

  • Large cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together goat cheese, heavy cream, and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Add minced garlic and cumin, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in harissa paste and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Using a spoon, create 6 small wells in the sauce. Crack eggs directly into each well. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes for runny yolks, or longer for firmer yolks.
  • Remove from heat and dollop whipped goat cheese around the eggs. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  • Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping and scooping.

Notes

Storage tip: Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and reheated. Adjust harissa amount based on your heat preference - start with less and add more as needed. For best results, use room temperature eggs to prevent cracking when added to hot sauce.
