Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the sucuk. If the sucuk is very fatty, you can render some of the fat first by frying it in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes, then discard excess fat.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced sucuk. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.

    ~7 min
  3. 3

    While the sucuk is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk gently.

    ~1 min
  4. 4

    Push the sucuk to one side of the pan, add the butter to the other side, and let it melt. Pour in the whisked eggs.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Scramble the eggs, folding them into the sucuk. Cook until the eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.

    ~4 min
  6. 6

    In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add the red pepper flakes and swirl gently for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Do not let it burn.

    ~1 min
  7. 7

    Drizzle the chili oil over the sucuk and eggs. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

    ~1 min
  8. 8

    Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.

Tips

  • For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of ground cumin to the sucuk while it's frying.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan.
