What it is
A classic Turkish breakfast or light meal, this fluffy omelette is prepared with farm-fresh eggs, generously filled with a blend of savory Turkish cheeses such as beyaz peynir (a feta-like brined cheese), kaşar (a semi-hard yellow cheese), or tulum peyniri. Cooked with butter or olive oil.
Key ingredients
Eggs, butter/olive oil, beyaz peynir/kaşar/tulum peyniri, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no flour or starch is added to the eggs. Ensure no bread or high-carb sides are served.
Watch out for
None inherent, but always served with bread on the side. Some processed cheeses can contain starches, but traditional Turkish cheeses usually do not.
