Egg with acuka is an egg dish flavored with acuka, a savory Turkish spread commonly made with pepper paste, walnuts, garlic and spices. The eggs may be cooked with the spread or served with it on top, depending on the recipe.
Cook eggs in a lightly oiled pan, then stir in a little acuka or spoon it over the finished eggs. Start with a small amount because acuka is strongly flavored and can be salty; adjust to taste before adding extra salt.
Acuka gives egg with acuka a bold, savory taste, often with pepper, garlic, spices and a nutty note from walnuts. The heat varies by recipe, so the dish can be mild or quite spicy.
Either method works for egg with acuka. Mixing it in spreads the flavor through the eggs, while adding it on top keeps the acuka more concentrated and lets each person control how much they eat.
Serve egg with acuka with crusty bread or flatbread to scoop up the eggs and spread. Fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers make a good contrast to the rich, spicy acuka.
Yes. Use a mild acuka and add it gradually to egg with acuka, tasting as you go. Acuka recipes vary in their pepper and spice levels, so reducing the amount is the simplest way to keep the dish mild.
Yes, you can make egg with acuka using a walnut-free acuka recipe or a suitable alternative spread. Walnuts are common in acuka but not essential to the egg dish; check the ingredients if you are avoiding nuts because of an allergy.
No. Egg with acuka gets its distinctive flavor from the pepper-and-spice spread, while menemen is typically cooked with tomatoes and peppers. Egg with acuka does not need tomatoes, and the eggs can be left whole rather than scrambled.
Yes, store-bought acuka works well for egg with acuka. Its saltiness and heat can vary, so taste it first and add it a little at a time rather than seasoning the eggs heavily from the start.
Egg with acuka is best cooked just before serving, since reheated eggs can become firm and dry. You can prepare the acuka ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator, then cook the eggs when you are ready to eat.

Egg with acuka is a simple pan-cooked dish combining eggs with acuka, a Turkish spread made with pepper paste, walnuts and spices. Depending on the cook, the eggs may be left whole or stirred into the acuka as they cook. Acuka is also commonly served on its own, spread on bread at breakfast.
Its savoury, gently spicy and nutty flavour contrasts with the soft texture of the eggs. In Turkey, it is most at home at a leisurely breakfast, often with bread and tea; it can also be served as a small sharing dish. The eggs make it a protein-containing meal, while the acuka adds fat and salt. Use a modest amount of acuka and serve with fresh tomatoes or greens for a lighter plate.
