💡 Tips for Middle Eastern Shakshuka

• • Prepare ingredients the night before for a quicker morning routine.
• • Use room-temperature eggs for more even cooking and better volume.
• • Don't let garlic burn — add it after other aromatics and cook briefly.
• • Grate cheese fresh rather than pre-shredded for better melting and flavor.
