Loaded Shakshuka

My first time making shakshuka! Most recipes I’ve seen are pretty basic with tomato sauce and maybe some onions, but I wanted to load mine up with more nutritious goodies.

I added white beans for some carbs, chicken sausage (I used mild Italian) for more protein, as well as yellow pepper, kale, avocado, and feta - for fiber & healthy fats. Such a good combo! I hope you enjoy :)
