Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-low. Add pico de gallo and 1 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are very soft and liquid has reduced by three-quarters, about 25 minutes. Stir in feta. Gently crack eggs into skillet, one at a time, over tomatoes, spacing evenly. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Transfer skillet to oven and bake shakshuka until eggs are just set, 14 –16 minutes. Serve hot in skillet.

Why this 3-Ingredient Shakshuka works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this 3-Ingredient Shakshuka is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
