Sunday Morning Done Right: Kavurma with Eggs
A Traditional Turkish Breakfast in 10 Minutes
In Turkey, Sunday breakfast is more than just a meal; it’s a ritual. While many are familiar with Menemen, there is a more indulgent, protein-packed classic that reigns supreme on special mornings: Kavurma with Eggs (Kavurmalı Yumurta).
Kavurma is traditionally prepared by slow-cooking beef in its own juices and fat, resulting in incredibly tender, flavorful meat. When paired with farm-fresh eggs and a side of crusty bread, it creates a breakfast that is both hearty and sophisticated.
The 10-Minute Kavurma & Eggs Recipe
Prep time: 2 mins | Cook time: 8 mins | Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 pack (200g) Melis Traditional Turkish Roasted Beef Kavurma
- 3-4 Large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Butter (optional)
- Red Pepper Flakes (Pul Biber) and Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the Kavurma pieces. As they heat up, the natural fats will melt, coating the pan.
- Sizzle: Sauté the meat for 3-4 minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Add Eggs: Crack the eggs directly over the meat. You can keep them sunny-side up or gently break the yolks.
- Season: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until eggs are done to your liking.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with toasted sourdough or traditional Turkish Simit.
