Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp oregano dried
- cinnamon optional, dash
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2/3 cup diced tomatoes canned
- 4 large egg lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons feta cheese divided, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- scallion sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick pan set over medium-low heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, and cinnamon. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, until soft.
- Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for 60 seconds, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and sauté for 3 minutes, mashing the tomatoes to help break them up.
- Add the beaten eggs, feta cheese, and salt to the pan. Gently scramble the eggs until just set. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Garnish with sliced scallions and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with toasted pita chips.
Notes
- To store Menemen, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freezing isn’t the best option since it can mess with the texture of the eggs.
- To reheat, gently warm the Menemen in a non-stick skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring between each to ensure even heating. Avoid overheating to maintain the eggs' soft texture.
