My New Favorite Scrambled Eggs Dish! Menemen!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Are you Team Cheese or No Cheese in Scrambled Eggs?

[@jeffshaut293]

Cheese

[@sharonc6602]

LOTS of cheese! Yum!

[@khoury]

Cheese!

[@LindaC616]

Either way

[@nurrodenthyme1671]

It didn't even occur to me that there was a choice! If you have the cheese, always add the cheese~

[@MoreMushroomThanMan]

Love the Mediterranean dishes! Spent three years in Turkey & really loved the culinary amalgamation that they have going on there. Truly the best of the whole region, in one cuisine. ❤️‍🔥🌶

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Indeed, their cuisine is amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[@barrysteadman-walley4434]

Made my mouth water that 👍🏼

[@peterthornton2396]

Absolutely love your recipes and your positivity. Thank you 👍🏻

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Peter!

[@HecklingTheHeat]

Just tried this one. Had to improvise on the pepper. Used a red bell and an Anaheim. Gave it great flavor! Other than that fallowed the recipe. Really good! Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelflinn7784]

Wow. Cooked this three times now with slight variations. All fantastic. Think my favourite was with cubed and friend brinjal. Yummy 😋

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Glad you liked it!

[@TURGAYDONMEZ-k7h]

I am turkish but you made menemen better than me and you have great ideas make menemen better for differnt culters you should go to istanbul and make menemen for Turks l am sure they will love it because you are a good chef you know what you doing.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@redbone7040]

My wife (Spanish) cook similar dish but uses my similar ingredients sauce I make and is a delicious dish😳🤔😁👍😋😋😋😋😋😋💯thank you🔥👌going to add cheese next time😋💯have another similar and add califlower ,onions,broccoli 👌

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you and enjoy!

[@musicalkimmy]

YUMMY!! I made this with a few variations. I made some Italian sausage (removed from the casings) set it aside, then in the same cast iron pan, sweat some jalapenos, finger hot peppers and added tomatoes. Let the flavours combine and then added the meat back in to the pan. Let that simmer for about 20mins and yes, I added cheese :) The last addition was the scrambled eggs and once again, let those flavours all marry up. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for an awesome recipe. Love all of your recipes!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great! Thank for sharing how you make it your own!

[@BigPeter1313]

I'm really digging your dishes and have Mediterranean family history Both North and South Italy as well as Greece), straight off the boat and went through Ellis Island. I absolutely love your recipes. I need to make some for my parents to impress them beyond baklava. Subscribed!!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks so much! I'd love to hear what your parents think! =)

[@jfpOne23]

Making this over the weekend with some diced up "Squeezed" Tofu. I already know it will be exceptional! Thanks for this Mike!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great!

[@grumpus3046]

Oh, cheese! No question about it, Mike.

[@M-a-k-o]

Absolute madness Mike😵‍💫In Greece we have something similar calles *Strapatsátha* but (unfortunately) without the chilies and with Feta cheese. In my variation I use Turkish Sucuk saucage which is very spicy. Take care🌶

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds great! I'll have to try that! Sounds right up my alley.

[@petroonajourney3503]

I just found your channel and I am subscribed, I love cooking and Turkish dishes are amazing so I look forward to trying out the Menemen,

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Hope you enjoy!

[@travishall67]

Looks delicious. I'm always looking for something a little different for breakfast. Thanks for taking the time to share. 🍻

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Enjoy! Thank you.

[@annebruce5135]

Made this today a d it was fab-u-lous!!😋. Have just shared it with a cousin who loves all things Turkish. Thanks so much

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Wonderful!

[@dedemurphy3308]

This recipe looks great but I would have liked to see how it looks when you serve it. Especially, how solid it is with the eggs. Thanks, I do like your recipes.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Dede.

[@CodySSC]

Awesome! Saw this posted last night and decided to make it this morning. Great and easy recipe.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks!!!

[@rovisini]

Never used cheese with it but imma try it. Love cheese and Tom's together. But I like mine with rice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yum!

[@stephenhope7319]

Excellent, reminds me of shakshuka with a different way to do the eggs.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Both are amazing, huh? Gotta love'em all!

[@annebruce5135]

This would make a tasty lunch too, thanks it's on my to make list.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yup, that's true!

[@Hollis_has_questions]

This is egg genius!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

So good!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I'd add mushrooms, because I'm obsessed. Maybe black olives too.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds like great additions.

[@thestonecanoe3159]

I've made that for breakfast today, I took shortcuts but it's basically the same, used bell peppers, onyo jalapeños (salsa) and mushrooms. Topped with mozzarella old smoked cheddar cheese

[@grigoriymazur6929]

Very nice . Where are you got the lid for the skillet ? Thank you.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks. Many, I don't remember where the heck I got that lid. Haha.

[@courtneyldye]

TEAM CHEESE!!! Awesome inspiration for my weekend and probably entire future!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

This is epic! Love to hear that.

[@gimpscalawag]

Delicious

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you 😋

[@alifetomake]

Oooh!... Gotta try this!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Enjoy!

[@familyc3026]

This recipe looks great. What size of pan do you use in this recipe?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks! 14 inch pan for this one.

[@rogeliomontoya4818]

i dig the cheese, mozzorella nice choice

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup mike, how did I miss this😳, did shopping, I see breakfast, I'm in with brown butter, after starts brown I add wagyu tallow, if out I use crisco. Wish could see your garden lol. Tyvm tc

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I love it, I'm in! =)

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@ChiliPepperMadness sup mike, made today with hot Portuguese chorizo had, and finished just Calabrian chilies.. was awesome.. but right any peppers work, I've added chorizo to shakshuka eggs so why not lol. Really only difference was cooking of eggs? Too bad eggs expensive 🤣😂, again tyvm Yea little confused if difference between menemen and shakshuka is just how eggs cooked?? When add becomes same except eggs lol. Way head works 🤯🤷

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yep, scrambled vs not. I love them both! =)

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@ChiliPepperMadness yea addictive lol.

[@chadwallace3598]

Don’t remember this dish but looks good to me! 🥃

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

It's time to get to cooking maybe? ;)

[@AssassinKing19]

afiyet olsun!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thank you! Will do!

[@ardabaskan6123]

Thats great chef...but the discussion is going around like onion or no onion in Turkiye :) cheese is just to your personal taste :))

[@wayned5872]

I would be tempted to scoop out a hoagie roll & stuff this in it, as for a meat to go with this im thinking lamb

[@williamcornelison4721]

So I'm thinking of using Gee ?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

That would be great.

[@metroplexchl]

Sorry....did you say with or withOUT cheese? Is this honestly an option?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

😂😂

[@judithkiss5540]

You are such a cutey (apart from your great recipes) - Patty, when you're done with him, I'll have him!!!!! 😆

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Haha, thanks, Judith!

[@WontSeeReplies]

Awesome. Back off, Patty. Mine!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Not sure about that! LOL

[@Sourpusscandy]

Needs Italian sausage!

[@jeffshaut293]

Blue cheese

[@yougeekyou]

Why didn't you show the final product!? When you popped the lid and showed the top it looked like the eggs weren't done yet. Should have shown a close-up of the dish being scooped, etc. Bummer

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I could have done better with that on this one.

[@tradersato]

Could you use weights instead of “medium size” this or that… it would give us a better feel for what the portion is

[@maxineb9598]

I guess a lot of bit of this bit of that varies with individual. Its not baking where actual quantities are vital

[@grahamthurston3776]

Cheese is never optional.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Cheeeeeeeeeeese :)

[@marko8605]

Cheese please.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yes - I love adding cheese!!

[@JesseCohoon]

If you don't scramble the eggs, and add them to poach in the liquid, you would have shakshuka

[@Kingfisher1215]

Shakshuka doesn’t have cheese or meat, which he mentions as a potential addition. True, this is very similar to shakshuka, it’s clearly a different dish.
