Ingredients
- 8 Slices Sucuk sausage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 eggs
- freshly ground black pepper
- fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Add the sliced sausages to a cold small frying pan along with the oil. Turn on the heat to medium/high and let the sausages come up to temperature. Let them sizzle for 1 minute each side before breaking two eggs over them. Let these eggs fry for 3-4 minutes (pop on a lid to the pan and the tops of the eggs will cook more quickly.)
- Remove from the heat, grind over the pepper and sprinkle with a few herbs if you're using and serve directly from the pan. Serve with pita breads or flatbreads.

Notes
- If you can't get hold of Turkish Sucuk, try with Spanish chorizo or Italian salami for an alternative version.
