Turkish Menemen

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 green bell peppers (or Turkish sivri peppers), diced
• 4 ripe tomatoes, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
• 1 tsp Aleppo pepper or paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup crumbled white cheese (feta works)
• fresh parsley, for garnish
• crusty bread, for serving

Steps

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add tomatoes, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tomatoes break down into a thick sauce.

3. 3

   Crack eggs directly into the sauce, spacing them out. Stir gently to barely break the yolks and create a scrambled-poached texture.

4. 4

   Cook for 3-4 minutes until eggs are just set but still creamy.

5. 5

   Top with crumbled cheese and fresh parsley.

6. 6

   Serve family-style straight from the skillet with crusty bread.
