Authentic Turkish Menemen with Creamy Feta
Experience the vibrant flavors of Turkey with this classic Menemen recipe, elevated by the creamy tang of feta cheese. This hearty and satisfying dish combines gently scrambled eggs with a rich, savory base of ripe tomatoes and vibrant green peppers, creating a perfect breakfast or brunch that's both simple to prepare and incredibly delicious.
Let's cook.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely diced green bell pepper and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the diced or grated ripe tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Crack the 4 large eggs directly into the tomato and pepper mixture. Gently stir to scramble the eggs into the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
