Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs, No Bread)
Turkish Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes & Peppers (No Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no bread. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A quintessential Turkish breakfast dish featuring eggs scrambled with finely diced tomatoes, green peppers, and onions, often cooked in butter or olive oil. It is traditionally served with bread for dipping, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Eggs, fresh tomatoes, green bell peppers, onions, butter/olive oil, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (optional).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread. Confirm no added sugar in the tomato base (highly unlikely for Menemen, but always a good practice).
Watch out for
The most significant risk is the accompanying bread; tomatoes and onions contribute some carbs.
