4-Ingredient Moroccan Omelette
This 4-Ingredient Moroccan Omelette is a quick and easy 10 minute breakfast that is a cross between shakshuka and a traditional omelette. You can make it using just a few basic ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. This recipe is Paleo, Whole30, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Gluten Free and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.
As someone who is not a big fan of the texture of eggs, I am always looking for new ways to disguise them in dishes. This simple 4-ingredient dish (5 ingredients if you are being picky and count the olive oil), is made like an omelette, but has a wonderful rich tomatoey flavour like shakshuka.
Due to my aversion to eggs, I like to make this omelette quite saucy, but you can play around with the quantities by adding in more eggs, or even more sauce depending on what you prefer. This recipe is a great recipe to make during times like this when you might not have access to a lot of food, because you can switch up the ingredients depending on what you have on hand.
Switch things up depending on what ingredients you have
- Add in protein: Try adding in sliced sausage, crumbled chorizo, ham or ground pork, beef or chicken
- Don’t have parsley? While parsley adds a nice freshness to the eggs, you can swap it out for another herb such as cilantro, basil or oregano.
- I want veggies! Try adding in chopped spinach, sauteed mushrooms, eggplant or onions, olives or roasted peppers.
- Tomato Sauce vs Canned Tomatoes? Either works! I personally prefer to use tomato sauce, but canned chopped tomatoes would also work well. You could add leave the chopped tomatoes chunky, or quickly puree them in the blender to get a smooth consistency.
- The measurements don’t have to be exact: Don’t worry if you don’t have enough sauce, or one extra egg, this is truly a foolproof dish to make so you can adjust the tomato sauce to egg ratios to suit your preference and what you have on hand.

4-Ingredient Moroccan Omelette
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup canned tomato sauce (or pureed canned tomatoes)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley + 1/2 tbsp for garnish
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 medium eggs
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non stick skillet on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot add in the tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute.
- Once the tomato sauce is gently bubbling, stir in the cumin, parsley, salt and pepper and leave the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl whisk the eggs until they are completely broken up. Drizzle the eggs in a circle motion over the sauce so that they are evenly distributed around the entire pan. Cover with a lid and leave to cook for 4 minutes until the eggs have completely set. Run a spatula around the outside of the omelete to loosen the sides if there is any runny egg in the middle, tilt the pan to let move the runny egg to the outside of the pan where it will cook faster.
- Once the egg has completely set, slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with additional parsley before serving

Used Pomi strained tomatoes and a few tablespoons of prepared matbucha. Simmered, then added salt, pepper, garlic and parsley. Used a small pan with two extra large eggs. Needed an extra 3 minutes of cooking but came out delish!
It was good. I may reduce the cumin a bit on the next one. I didn’t have parsley so I added chopped green onion. It was nice and quick. Thank you.
Holy cow that was good. Lip smacking good with all that umami from the tomato. I’m on my fourth week of whole30 and really needed a break from fried eggs for breakfast. This was exactly what I needed. Had it with a half an avocado. Feel like if you were on keto, a Chaffle would go perfectly. Great recipe!
This is so easy and so delicious.
Thank you!
I made this for brunch this morning. I had to use jar pasta sauce, because #quarantinelife, but it was still SO YUMMY. I added in some wilty chopped kale and sliced baby tomatoes. Came together so easy and quick, but very delicious!
This was SO GOOD!! Such a great mix of flavors.
This was SO GOOD!! Such a great mix of flavors.
Is this one or two serves? Would be good to know
I was hungry so one haha. But if you added an extra egg and used the whole 8 oz can of tomato sauce you could make it for two.
