Frequently Asked Questions About Aegean herb fried egg
What herbs go in an Aegean herb fried egg?
An Aegean herb fried egg commonly uses tender herbs such as parsley, dill, spring onion, and whatever fresh greens are in season. Wild fennel or other regional greens can add a distinctive Aegean flavor; wash and dry the herbs well before cooking.
How do you make an Aegean herb fried egg?
An Aegean herb fried egg is made by briefly cooking chopped herbs in a little oil, then cracking eggs into the pan. Cook over low heat until the whites are set, leaving the yolks as runny or firm as you prefer.
Is an Aegean herb fried egg the same as menemen?
No, an Aegean herb fried egg is not the same as menemen. The eggs are usually left whole, and tomatoes are not essential; menemen is typically cooked with tomatoes and peppers, with the eggs stirred into the mixture.
Can you add feta to an Aegean herb fried egg?
Yes, crumbled feta works well in an Aegean herb fried egg. Add it near the end of cooking so it warms without overwhelming the fresh herbs; a milder cheese can be used if you want the herbs to stand out more.
Should you cook the herbs before adding eggs to an Aegean herb fried egg?
Yes, briefly cooking the herbs first usually gives an Aegean herb fried egg a better texture. It softens sturdier greens; add delicate herbs later so they stay fresh-tasting rather than becoming overly wilted.
How do you keep the yolk runny in an Aegean herb fried egg?
Keep the heat low and stop cooking an Aegean herb fried egg as soon as the whites are set. Covering the pan briefly helps cook the top of the whites without needing to flip the eggs or firm up the yolks.
What should you serve with an Aegean herb fried egg?
Serve an Aegean herb fried egg with crusty bread, olives, and sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for a simple meal. The bread is especially useful for the yolk, while a spoonful of plain yogurt can make the plate more substantial.
Can you use frozen herbs in an Aegean herb fried egg?
Yes, frozen herbs work in an Aegean herb fried egg. Thaw and drain them first, then cook off excess moisture before adding the eggs; otherwise, water released by the herbs can make the dish soggy instead of gently fried.
How should you store leftover Aegean herb fried egg?
Store leftover Aegean herb fried egg in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. The yolk and whites tend to firm up when reheated, so this dish is best cooked fresh and in the amount you plan to serve.
Can you make an Aegean herb fried egg without much oil?
Yes, you can make an Aegean herb fried egg with just a thin coating of oil in a good nonstick pan. Soften the herbs over low heat, and use their moisture or a small splash of water if they begin to stick.

What is Aegean herb fried egg?
Aegean herb fried egg is a Turkish Aegean-style pan dish: seasonal local herbs are softened in a skillet, often with olive oil, then eggs are cooked among the greens. The herbs vary with the season and locality, so the flavour can be pleasantly different from one version to the next.
In Turkey, it is commonly served hot at breakfast with bread, olives and cheese, and may also make a simple light meal. Elsewhere, it works well for brunch or a quick supper, with toast or a fresh salad. The egg makes it a source of protein, and the dish also provides vitamins A, D and B12. Use oil sparingly if you’d like a lighter plate.
