Notes
A thick shakshuka sauce prevents the muffins from getting soggy. Let the tomato sauce simmer and reduce slightly before adding the eggs. Toasting English muffins before assembling adds the perfect crunch, preventing them from getting too soft under the saucy shakshuka. A light butter spread before toasting enhances flavor!
