Sucuklu yumurta is a classic Turkish breakfast pan: slices of spiced, fermented beef sausage are seared until they release their fat, then two eggs are cracked on top. The eggs bring most of the protein, while the sucuk and the butter in the pan supply the bulk of the roughly 38 g of fat.

How to make it lighter

  1. Skip the butter: sucuk renders enough of its own fat to cook the eggs, which saves around 100 kcal per tablespoon of butter left out.
  2. Use fewer, thinner slices of sucuk and add an extra egg white or green peppers to keep the pan full.
  3. Count the bread you dip into the pan separately; a thick slice of white bread is about 130 kcal.
