To make eggs with tomato paste, fry the paste briefly in oil, loosen it with a splash of water if needed, then crack in the eggs. Cover the pan for set whites, or stir the eggs through the sauce for a softer, scrambled texture.
Eggs with tomato paste taste savory, tangy, and more concentrated than eggs cooked with fresh tomatoes. Frying the paste briefly mellows its sharpness and brings out a richer flavor; chili, black pepper, or herbs can change the result.
Yes, you can use tomato sauce, but the dish will be thinner and less intensely flavored than eggs with tomato paste. Simmer the sauce until it thickens before adding the eggs, and avoid adding extra water.
No, eggs with tomato paste are not necessarily shakshuka. Shakshuka usually has a more substantial tomato-and-pepper sauce in which the eggs poach; this simpler dish centers on tomato paste and may have the eggs stirred through.
Either way works for eggs with tomato paste. Leave the eggs whole if you want distinct yolks and whites, or stir them into the paste for an even, soft scramble; add the eggs after the paste has been cooked.
Serve eggs with tomato paste with crusty bread, toast, or flatbread to scoop up the sauce. A simple green salad or sliced cucumber alongside adds freshness, while salty sides can make the meal taste overly salty if the paste is already seasoned.
Yes, you can make eggs with tomato paste in a good nonstick pan with a little water instead of oil. Keep the heat low and stir the paste so it does not scorch before adding the eggs.
To keep eggs with tomato paste from sticking, use a nonstick or well-seasoned pan and cook the paste over moderate heat, stirring it often. Add a small splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick before the eggs are cooked.
Yes, reheat leftover eggs with tomato paste in a covered pan over low heat, adding a little water if the sauce has thickened. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a sealed container and use them within three to four days.
You can prepare the tomato-paste base for eggs with tomato paste ahead, then cook the eggs just before serving. The eggs taste best freshly cooked; reheating the whole dish can make them firm and rubbery.

Eggs with tomato paste is a simple Turkish home-style dish: eggs are cooked in a pan with tomato paste loosened in a little oil, then stirred or left to set more firmly. The paste gives the eggs a savoury, gently tangy flavour, while the texture can range from soft and creamy to fully set.
In Turkey, it is often served hot for breakfast with bread for scooping, and also makes an easy light meal later in the day. It is protein-rich, with 9.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use less oil and pair it with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or greens.
