  • Cut basturma slices into bite-size pieces.

  • 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.
