Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 bazlama breads (Turkish flatbread)
- 1 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-low temperature, melting butter to create a non-stick cooking surface.
- Vigorously whisk eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture becomes uniformly blended and develops a light, airy texture.
- Gently pour egg mixture into the buttered skillet, using a spatula to create soft, billowy scrambled eggs with a creamy consistency.
- As eggs begin to set but remain slightly wet, evenly distribute shredded cheese across the surface, allowing it to melt slowly and integrate with the eggs.
- Simultaneously, prepare bazlama breads by lightly brushing with olive oil and toasting in a separate pan until edges turn golden and crisp.
- Carefully spoon the melted cheese-covered scrambled eggs onto one half of each warm bazlama bread, ensuring an even layer.
- Skillfully fold the bazlama bread over the eggs, creating a compact, rustic sandwich-like package that encapsulates the warm filling.
- Add a vibrant finishing touch by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley across the top of each bazlama, introducing a burst of herbal freshness.
- Cut diagonally and serve immediately, capturing the optimal moment when cheese remains gooey and eggs retain their warmth.
Notes
- Adjust heat carefully to prevent egg overcooking, keeping them soft and creamy with gentle stirring.
- Select high-quality cheese like sharp cheddar or gruyère for enhanced flavor complexity and melting performance.
- Transform this recipe into a vegetarian delight by adding sautéed spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition and texture.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for those with wheat sensitivities while maintaining the dish’s essence.
