Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.

For a richer flavor, you can add a knob of butter to the skillet along with the olive oil.

If you prefer your egg yolks cooked through, cook the eggs for a longer period of time.

Serve with Turkish tea for a complete Turkish breakfast experience.
