1 piece (medium) of Egg with Sucuk and Kasar Cheese (160 g) has 352 calories. That works out to 220 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.5 g of carbs, 22.4 g of protein, 27.2 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 3.4 µg of B12 covers 140% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese brings eggs together with slices of sucuk, a Turkish spiced sausage, and softly melted kaşar, a Turkish cheese. It is a familiar choice for a Turkish breakfast, often cooked and served in the same pan. The sausage gives the dish a savoury, warmly spiced flavour, while the eggs and melting cheese make each bite soft and rich.
Serve it hot with bread for dipping, alongside tea and, if you like, fresh tomatoes and cucumber. It is filling, with protein as well as plenty of fat, so a smaller portion can work well with a lighter spread of vegetables. Using less sucuk or cheese is an easy way to make the plate less rich without losing its characteristic flavour.

Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese is made by cooking sliced sucuk in a pan until it releases some fat, then adding the eggs. When the whites begin to set, scatter kasar cheese over the top and cook until it melts, leaving the yolks as runny or firm as you like.
Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese is a Turkish skillet breakfast made with eggs, sucuk—a spiced, cured Turkish sausage—and melting kasar cheese. The sausage seasons the eggs as it cooks, while the cheese adds a soft, savory layer.
Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese includes melted kasar on top, while sucuklu yumurta usually means eggs cooked with sucuk without cheese. The cheese makes the dish richer and softer in texture; the simpler version puts more emphasis on the sausage.
Usually, you do not need extra oil for egg with sucuk and kasar cheese. Cook the sucuk first so it releases its own fat, then add the eggs. If your sucuk is particularly lean or sticks to the pan, add a little oil.
Add the kasar cheese to egg with sucuk and kasar cheese after the eggs go into the pan. Once the whites start to set, sprinkle on grated or thinly sliced cheese; it will melt without requiring you to overcook the eggs.
Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese can be mildly spiced or quite hot, depending on the sucuk. Choose a mild sausage if you prefer less heat, and taste before adding chili flakes because sucuk is already seasoned.
Egg with sucuk and kasar cheese is commonly served with fresh bread for dipping into the yolk, plus simple sides such as tomatoes or cucumber. Since the dish is savory and rich, fresh vegetables make a useful contrast.
Yes, egg with sucuk and kasar cheese can be baked. Briefly cook the sucuk in a pan, transfer it to an oven-safe dish, add the eggs and kasar, then bake until the whites are set and the cheese has melted.
Yes, you can make egg with sucuk and kasar cheese with another cheese, though the result will taste different. A mild cheese that melts well is the closest swap; strong or salty cheeses can overpower the seasoned sucuk.
Store leftover egg with sucuk and kasar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator rather than leaving it at room temperature. The eggs may firm up after reheating, so it is best eaten soon and reheated until thoroughly hot.
