Treat yourself and your loved ones to a delicious Middle Eastern shakshuka for breakfast. Not the usual kind, with eggs and vegetables, but a meaty, filling, and nutritious one—everyone will want this breakfast for lunch and dinner! To make it, you'll need ground beef or lamb. Fry it with vegetables, aromatic spices, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, make a few wells in the meat sauce, and crack eggs into them.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 190°C.
Step 2
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, turning the pan over 2 times. Add the ground beef, crumble it, and cook until darkened and golden brown.
Step 3
• Prepare all the ingredients:
  
  Peel and chop the onion. Seed and finely chop the pepper. Chop the garlic. Add the onion and pepper to the meat and stir for a few minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the seeds, spices, and garlic; stir.
Step 4
• In a food processor, puree a can of chipotle chips in adobo sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of the mixture to the pan, and transfer the rest to a freezer bag for later use.
Step 5
• Add the tomatoes, honey (if using), and feta to the pan and stir. Using the back of a wooden spoon, make 4-6 wells in the meat sauce and crack the eggs into the wells. Bake the pan in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the eggs are set.
Step 6
• To serve, fry the flatbreads.:
  
  Heat a frying pan over high heat. Splash a few drops of water into the pan and fry the bread until bubbly, then flip it over. Brush the bread with melted butter and cut into slices or wide strips.
Step 7
• Place a spoonful of yogurt on top of the eggs, if using, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves and green onions.
