Start your day off with a shakshuka and some toast; a healthy and filling breakfast that'll keep you up and about until lunch!

I've altered the original recipe slightly by adding spinach for even more health benefits and a beautiful colour.

I added olive tapenade but it is optional, though I highly recommend it as it melds beautifully with the other umami rich elements of the dish. I would even describe it as balancing out some of the tomatoes' sweet and sourness, creating a full-bodied, miso-like flavour.

Another topping you could consider is feta cheese, which can be crumbled on top. You could also be creative with different type of herbs.
