Menemen is a Turkish breakfast of eggs softly scrambled into tomatoes and green peppers, cooked in butter or olive oil and usually eaten with white cheese and bread. Most of its calories come from the eggs, the cheese and the fat in the pan, so the amount of butter or oil matters more than the vegetables.

How to make it lighter

  1. Cook with one teaspoon of butter or olive oil instead of a generous amount; each tablespoon of fat adds roughly 100–120 kcal.
  2. Keep the white cheese to a matchbox-sized piece, or swap it for lor (curd) cheese for more protein per calorie.
  3. Count the bread separately: a medium slice of white bread is roughly 70–80 kcal.
