These baked eggs are as good for a speedy weeknight dinner as they are for a festive brunch, and the pan-crisped croutons soak up just enough sauce to create wonderfully crispy-gone-soggy texture. Similar in style to shakshuka, this recipe gets an extra kick from fiery harissa. Some brands of harissa are spicier than others, so be sure to taste as you go and adjust the crushed red pepper flake usage depending on how spicy you’d like your finished product.
