A flavorful twist on a classic breakfast dish featuring Turkish menemen flavors layered on a crispy pizza crust.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large thin pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, approximately 12 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2.1 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, paprika, ground cumin, and optional red pepper flakes to the skillet, simmering for an additional 5 minutes. Then crack the eggs into the mixture and stir gently, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until softly scrambled. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Brush the pizza crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the menemen mixture evenly over the crust and top with crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a crispy crust, always preheat the pizza stone. Experiment with spices for added heat.
