Notes

THIS SHAKSHUKA CAN BE MADE ON A 12 INCH SKILLET OR IN AN SMALL SKILLET, COOKING TWO EGGS AT A TIME.
SHAKSHUKA IS BEST WHEN EATEN HOT WITH A CRUSTY BREAD OR MATZA FOR PASSOVER.
SAUCE AND ROASTED VEGETABLES CAN BE MADE AHEAD (2-3 DAYS) AND MIXED TOGETHER RIGHT BEFORE ADDING THE EGGS AND THE CHEESE
