preparation
The preparation of menemes is very variable and roughly corresponds to that of other egg dishes such as the German farmer's breakfast , a scrambled egg with vegetables or an omelette .
The onions are heated in melted butter or olive oil, then the peppers, hot peppers and chopped tomatoes are added. As soon as the tomatoes are soft, add one or two eggs per serving. The eggs are stirred and should be whipped completely, but must not dry out.
Usual supplements are cheese , especially the fetaähnliche white cheese ( beyaz peynir ) and sausage , for example, the Turkish garlic sausage Sucuk . White bread is usually served with menemen.
Naming
The dish was named after the Turkish city of Menemen near Izmir .
