🍳 A Jewish Deli Breakfast Classic: Shakshuka at Mikey & Mel’s Deli DC
In a city full of brunch spots and power breakfasts, Mikey & Mel’s Deli stands out by staying true to the roots of Jewish deli tradition—while serving it up with a modern DC twist. And one dish that’s getting serious buzz on the breakfast menu? Shakshuka.
🔥 What Is Shakshuka?
Originating in North Africa and popularized throughout Israeli and Middle Eastern kitchens, shakshuka is a dish that brings warmth, spice, and comfort together in one skillet. It features:
-
Poached eggs
-
A rich tomato, pepper, and onion sauce
-
Spices like cumin and paprika
-
Fresh herbs and toasted bread on the side
At Mikey & Mel’s, our version stays true to its roots while embracing the hearty portions and bold flavor that define a Jewish-style deli breakfast.
🥯 Why It Belongs at a Jewish Deli
While you might think of bagels, lox, and latkes when you hear “Jewish deli,” shakshuka is the kind of comfort food that speaks to the global Jewish food story. It’s vegetarian-friendly, protein-packed, and perfect for a slow morning or a midweek recharge.
Pair it with one of our fresh-baked bagels, a schmear, or even a side of our house-made challah for dipping—you won’t regret it.
