- Salt, to taste Buy: Salt · ₺29.99
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste Buy: Ground Black Pepper · ₺89.99
Preparation
- Heat the Biryağ Sunflower Oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the finely diced green bell pepper and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pan. If using, stir in the Oncu Sweet Pepper Paste. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices, forming a rich sauce.
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and Ground Black Pepper.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked vegetables in the pan. Let the eggs set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
- Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue to cook and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still moist and creamy. Be careful not to overcook them!
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and Ground Black Pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately, perhaps with some fresh bread for dipping. Afiyet olsun!
Pro Tips
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of dried mint or red pepper flakes along with the tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the eggs! Turkish scrambled eggs are best when they are still soft and creamy.
- Serve with a side of fresh cucumber and olives for a complete Turkish breakfast experience.
