Turkish Cheese and Herb Scramble (Menemen Peynirli)
This savory Turkish-inspired scramble combines fluffy eggs with fresh herbs and crumbled feta cheese, creating a delightful and quick breakfast. It's a simple yet flavorful dish perfect for a weekend brunch or a speedy weekday meal.
Let's cook.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely diced red onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
In a bowl, whisk together the large eggs, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh dill, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the softened onions. Let it 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 cooking and gently stirring for 3-5 minutes, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, perhaps with a side of warm bread.
