Turkish Sucuklu Yumurta (Spicy Sausage and Eggs)

Sucuklu Yumurta is a classic Turkish breakfast featuring spicy, garlicky sucuk sausage cooked with eggs. It's a hearty and flavorful dish, perfect for starting your day with a kick.

✎
HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

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

02

Add the sliced sucuk to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy. The sucuk will release its own fat.

03

Once the sucuk is cooked, crack the eggs directly into the skillet around the sausage slices. Be careful not to break the yolks.

04

Season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

05

Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (runny or firm).

06

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

07

Serve immediately, directly from the skillet, with crusty bread for dipping.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, you can add a small knob of butter to the skillet with the olive oil before cooking the sucuk. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional minute or two with the lid on.

Easy Substitutions

If sucuk is unavailable, you can use another spicy, cured sausage like chorizo, though the flavor profile will be different. For a milder version, omit the red pepper flakes.

Storage & Reheating

Sucuklu Yumurta 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 when reheated. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
