Poached tomato eggs

Shakshuka is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices like cumin and paprika.

Originally from North Africa and popular throughout the Middle East, it's typically served in the pan it's cooked in, with bread for dipping: We ordered shakshuka for brunch.
