Healthy Breakfast Idea: Menemen

Every culture has their version of tomato and eggs and each time it’s just as delicious. During my recent trip to Turkey, I got to enjoy Menemen again and just had to recreate it at home for myself. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs, whisked

• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced

• 1 tomato, chopped into triangles

• 1 green chili pepper, chopped thinly

• Fresh cheese (mozzarella)

• Green olives

• Dill

Instructions:

• Sautee onion until softened then add in chopped tomato and cook until tomato has let go of most of its juice

• Turn the heat to low, let the pan cool for a min, then slowly add in the whisked eggs

• Let the eggs cook until your desired consistency, then fold in the cheese, green chili peppers, and olives — season with salt and pepper

• Take off the heat, top with more green olives, a few sprigs of dill, and serve with crunchy bread
