    For my fellow lazy gourmands; you can semi-meal prep this by making the sauce ahead of time. Then each morning, just out some in a pan with some eggs and a splash of water, cook til done and cover with cheese and herbs, etc.

    I made this for my daughter and myself when she was staying with me recently, and I can tell you, they were absolutely delicious!!! I made two variations to the recipe because I didn’t have the ingredients in the fridge. First, we used a little dollop of sour cream under the eggs and I used crumbled goat cheese on top instead of feta. Also, rather than cooking the eggs in the fry pan, I simply poached them and set them in the depression. I can’t wait to make them again, they were wonderful.

    Also "Shakshuka for One" sounds like it could be the title of a trendy romance book.
    - After her fiancé breaks up with her just two week before their wedding, Lindsay Scott decides to still go on their honeymoon by herself to Morocco. Staying in a luxury bohemian styled hotel by herself, her days are dull and repetitive, lying in bed for most of it and living off room service for every meal. But soon she realizes that the man who's delivering her meals.. is filling her with more than just food.
    A New York Time best seller, and described by book reviewer Jack Edwards as "A warm dive into finding hope and love in places you didn't know was possible, and a celebration of cross cultural acceptance."

      Mushrooms only need to line the bottom layer, and you can a two or three more to that size pan for the win, if you like. I mean after all, we are the champions of our champignons.
