Menemen With Tomatoes And Eggs
A classic Turkish breakfast dish of tender green peppers, reduced ripe tomatoes, and gently stirred eggs, served while soft and creamy.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the olive oil and butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the green peppers and cook until softened without browning.
-
Step 2
Add the tomatoes, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the excess liquid reduces.
-
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl, add the black pepper, and beat briefly until the yolks and whites are loosely combined.
-
Step 4
Reduce to low heat and pour the beaten eggs into the tomato mixture. Stir gently until the eggs are softly set with no liquid egg remaining and have reached 71°C, then remove from the heat.
