What it is
A hearty and flavorful Turkish breakfast or brunch classic. Thick slices of spicy, garlicky, fermented beef sausage (sucuk) are pan-fried until crispy, releasing their rich oils, then eggs are cracked directly into the pan and cooked to your preference (typically sunny-side up or gently scrambled with the sausage).
Key ingredients
Sucuk (spicy beef sausage), eggs, butter/oil for cooking (if needed beyond sucuk fat).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread, pastries, or starchy sides are served alongside this dish.
Watch out for
Some commercial sucuk brands might contain minor starches or sugars as binders or curing agents, but generally very low carb. The primary risk is often serving with bread, which must be avoided.
