For too long brunch menus around town were ruled by eggs Benedict and stuffed french toast, but there’s a new delicious dish showing up on menus all over Philadelphia.

Shakshuka is a delectable dish of eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce that’s of Middle Eastern origin, likely Tunisian, but it’s also popular in Isreal, Morroco and Egypt.

In Philly, restaurants are serving it up with aplomb by adding spinach, feta, herbs and spices from all over the world, and one spot even makes a vegan version by swapping out the eggs for soft tofu!

Here are our favorite Philly places serving up and adding their own spin to shakshuka — let us know if we missed a favorite of yours!

Dizengoff

Set your alarm clock because your only chance of the week to enjoy Dizengoff’s shakshuka is on Sunday mornings. Served in a mini iron skillet, this version is thick and jammy, a spicy, pepper-studded tomato stew with two eggs sizzled on top. Pickled shishito peppers, blistered slightly, add zing. Mop up all remaining sauce with their focaccia-like nigella seed bread. A new option, you can now choose between the traditional vegetarian shakshuka, or go for a version that includes local lamb merguez sausage from La Divisa Meats!

Pub & Kitchen

Chef Eli Collins has earned high praise for his revamp of the menu at Pub & Kitchen. Now, on the brunch menu next to the chicken scrapple with maple syrup and the sourdough French toast, there’s shakshuka. Expect a piping hot casserole of your own filled with eggs baked in deep red tomato and red pepper stew with fennel and piquillo peppers. While aleppo pepper does lend a little heat, this version is spiced, but not spicy. The blend of seasonings includes caraway, black pepper, coriander and cumin. A drizzle of olive oil and a shower of fresh chives finish the dish, along with a few strips of preserved meyer lemon zest.
