Turkish Scrambled Eggs (Menemen) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 eggs
1 tablespoon cream (or half and half)
1 cubanelle pepper, stemmed and chopped into bite-size pieces (if you can't find cubanelle, try mild anaheim peppers)
4 -5 medium sized roma tomatoes, chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
salt and pepper
Preparation
-
Place the olive oil and cubanelle peppers in a large pan. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Take the seeds out of the tomatoes and squeeze slightly to remove excess juice. Then chop and add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook for another 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix the eggs with the cream in a bowl, and pour into the pan. Then add the feta cheese. Keep stirring periodically until the eggs are done. Make sure you dont overcook, otherwise it will be dry.
Serve with bread.
