This Turkish-inspired egg dish is very similar to the way some Mexican egg breakfasts are prepared. Very versatile and you can control the level of spiciness.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced Aleppo chiles, or to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup chopped tomato
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon thinly sliced basil leaves
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, chiles, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, with their juices, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add eggs to the skillet, tilting the skillet until eggs cover skillet completely. Do not mix. Cook until eggs are set, 3 to 5 minutes.
Top with basil and feta cheese.

Cook's Note:

You can substitute green bell peppers for the red, serrano chiles for the Aleppo peppers (since they can be hard to find), and cilantro or parsley for the basil.
