How to Prepare Creamy Shakshuka:

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a medium-sized deep bowl, whisk the eggs using a hand whisk for about 3 minutes. Gradually add the cooking cream and milk while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
   • Add oregano and salt to the egg mixture and stir for a few seconds until fully combined.

2. Cook the Vegetables:

   • In a large deep pot, fill it one-third with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
   • Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Remove the broccoli and set it aside.
   • In the same pot, add the zucchini slices and cook for 3 minutes, just until tender but not too soft. Remove and set aside.
   • Add the halved bell pepper to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes until softened slightly. Remove and set aside.

3. Assemble the Shakshuka:

   • Grease a baking dish with a little sunflower oil, brushing it with a wide brush to cover all sides.
   • Spread the zucchini slices evenly over the bottom of the dish. Pour one-third of the egg mixture over the zucchini.
   • Layer half of the mushrooms, red bell pepper halves, chili pepper slices, and broccoli florets on top, then pour another third of the egg mixture over the vegetables.
   • Add the remaining mushrooms, halved cherry tomatoes, smoked turkey slices, and pastrami slices. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
   • Place the bread slices on top of the mixture.

4. Bake the Shakshuka:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and set.

5. Serve:

   • Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the top with finely chopped parsley. Serve hot.
