We used to think you couldn’t beat a classic shakshuka—then spicy, butter-fried kimchi changed our minds. So did soy sauce-steamed eggs. And have we mentioned the Monterey Jack cheese yet? Brunch (or dinner) just got a whole lot more interesting.

More About This Recipe

  • Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish also known as “eggs in purgatory.” In traditional shakshuka, the spicy heat comes from harissa or other chile peppers. In this Korean riff, the heat comes from the spicy kimchi.
