Keyword: basturma, eggs
Servings: 2
- 2 TBS ghee or butter
- 5-6 slices basturma
- 4 large eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly.
Cut basturma slices into bite-size pieces.
In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, melt ghee or butter, then add basturma pieces.
Fry basturma, stirring constantly, until it begins to become crispy, and the spices begin to brown and caramelize on the pan.
Turn heat down to medium. Add whisked eggs, and fry turning constantly until you reach your preferred doneness. I like to remove the eggs when they are almost fully cooked, but still a bit wet, as they will continue to cook once removed from heat.
Transfer to a plate and serve with flatbread and any desired accompaniments.
