Menemen is one of those Turkish breakfasts that needs very little to feel like a complete meal. The key is to keep the eggs soft and creamy rather than letting them become dry; serve it straight from the pan with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large tomatoes, peeled and diced
• 6 Turkish green peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp milk
• 5 large eggs
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for serving

PREPARATION

1. Peel and dice the tomatoes. Remove the seeds from the green peppers and slice them thinly.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the peppers and sauté until slightly softened.
4. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5–6 minutes until juicy and tender.
5. Stir in the milk.
6. Crack in the eggs one at a time and stir gently until creamy and just set.
7. Season with salt and black pepper.
8. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread.
