HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

02

Add the sliced sucuk sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.

03

Stir in the diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to warm through and their juices to reduce slightly.

04

Create two small wells in the tomato and sucuk mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well.

05

Season the eggs with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.

06

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Serve this skillet with warm crusty bread or simit (Turkish sesame bread) for dipping into the flavorful yolks and sauce. For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If sucuk is unavailable, you can substitute with another spicy, cured sausage like chorizo, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. For a vegetarian option, omit the sucuk and add 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese during the last minute of cooking.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the eggs may become rubbery upon reheating. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat.
