Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 beef sausages (or sucuk / any sausage of your choice)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon paprika or pul biber (Turkish red pepper flakes)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Slice the sausages into rounds or small chunks. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter, and cook the sausage for 4–5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.
- Add the Eggs: For Scrambled Style: Crack the eggs directly into the pan with the sausage. Stir gently with a spatula, scrambling the eggs until cooked to your liking. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- For Fried Egg Style: Push the sausage to the sides of the pan, leaving space in the center. Crack the eggs in the middle and cook sunny-side-up or over-easy, letting the sausage flavor infuse the eggs.
- Serve: Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread or pita.
Things to Consider
- Sausage Choice: Use mild sausage for kids or spicy sucuk for a Turkish touch.
- Texture Preference: Scrambled eggs give a creamy texture, while fried eggs let you enjoy runny yolks over sausage.
- Balanced Meal: Pair with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or olives for a complete Turkish-style breakfast.
Tips
- Cheese Boost: Add grated mozzarella or feta while cooking for a creamy twist.
- Meal Prep: Cook the sausage ahead of time, and quickly add eggs in the morning for a 5-minute breakfast.
- Serving Idea: Stuff the eggs and sausage into a toasted sandwich or wrap for an on-the-go meal.
