Yumurtalı Ekmek (Turkish Eggy Bread)
Bread slices dipped into a beaten egg mixture and then fried. One of the easiest and quickest breakfast recipes.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk optional
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Add in milk.
- Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture. Make sure both sides soak up the egg mixture well.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in it.
- Place the egg soaked bread slice into the pan and fry for about 2 minutes or until golden.
- Turn it over and fry the other side until golden.
- Transfer onto a plate and repeat the same steps for the remaining bread slices.
- Serve immediately on its own or with some cheese, slices of tomatoes and cucumbers. Fried eggs or poached eggs are also great on the side.
NOTES
- We use milk just to thin the mixture a bit. We find it easier to soak the bread. You can leave it out if you want.
- If you want to make eggy bread sticks, cut the bread slices in strips before soaking them in the egg mixture.
- If you think the bread slices turn brown too fast when cooking in the pan, turn the heat down.,
- Don’t play with the bread slices much when cooking. Let them fry well and get a nice crust.
- To keep the fried eggy bread slices warm while you are working with the other slices, place them on an oven-proof plate and keep it in a warm oven on the lowest setting (200 F / 90 C) while frying the rest of the slices.
