Sucuklu Yumurta (Eggs with Turkish Sausage)

Method

Tap a step when it's done.

1. 1Peel off the thin casing of the sucuk and slice it into rounds or diagonal slices about 5 mm thick.
2. 2Heat a small frying pan or traditional sahan over medium heat for 1 minute without oil. Lay the sucuk slices in a single layer.
3. 3Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges curl and the fat renders, then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute. Overcooked sucuk turns hard.
4. 4If the sucuk is lean, add the butter. Crack the eggs one by one into the gaps between the slices, keeping the yolks whole.
5. 5Sprinkle a little salt on the whites only; the sucuk is already salty. Turn the heat down and cover the pan.
6. 6Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are fully set and the yolks still slightly wobbly. Give it another 1-2 minutes if you prefer firm yolks.
7. 7Sprinkle with pepper flakes and black pepper and serve straight from the pan with fresh bread.
