To scoop up every bit of this spicy egg and tomato dish, popular in North Africa and Israel, we brushed slices of pain au levain with oil, then toasted them on a grill pan set on a camp stove. After breakfast, we cleaned the cast-iron skillet by scrubbing it with hot water and a nylon wash pad (no soap). We set it back on the stove to dry and wipe with a thin film of oil.

  • Add tomatoes and sugar; bring to simmering, then reduce heat and cook until flavors are blended and mixture is a little thicker, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp. parsley.

  • With a wooden spoon, make 6 depressions in tomato mixture. Crack 1 egg into each and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover skillet tightly with a lid or foil. Cook until eggs are set but yolks are still runny, rotating skillet 180° halfway through cooking, 5 to 9 minutes.

  • Scatter feta and remaining 3 tbsp. parsley over shakshouka, then drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp. oil. Serve with more oil at the table if you like.
