This classic Middle Eastern breakfast dish features eggs in a bright, fragrant, mildly spicy tomato sauce that’s usually served with challah or pita to soak up everything on your plate. This version transforms the one-skillet dish into individual portions that are baked in the oven. The goal is to cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny so that it can mingle with the flavorful sauce. The serrano chile brings heat to the sauce, but you can omit it if you would prefer a milder shakshouka. The feta cheese adds a salty, creamy bite.
