Warm crumbled Circassian cheese briefly in a pan with a little butter, then add the eggs and cook until they reach your preferred texture. Taste the cheese first, since some varieties are salty enough that the dish needs no extra salt.
It is Circassian cheese, a traditional cheese associated with Circassian cuisine and commonly sold fresh or smoked. It can be salty and somewhat firm or stringy, so its texture and flavor differ from familiar melting cheeses.
Yes. Smoked Circassian cheese gives eggs with Circassian cheese a stronger, smoky flavor than fresh cheese. Because smoked varieties can taste quite assertive and salty, start with a smaller amount and season only after tasting.
Serve eggs with Circassian cheese with crusty bread, fresh tomatoes, cucumber, or leafy greens. Those simple sides complement the savory cheese without competing with its flavor; a crisp salad also works for lunch.
Yes, but the dish will no longer have the distinctive flavor of Circassian cheese. Choose a cheese with a similar firmness and saltiness, and taste it before adding any extra seasoning.
No. Eggs with Circassian cheese center on eggs and Circassian cheese, while menemen is typically cooked with tomatoes and peppers. The dishes differ in their main ingredients, flavor, and texture.
Circassian cheese can become tough or chewy if it is heated for too long or at high heat. Warm it briefly, then add the eggs and finish cooking gently rather than frying the cheese until browned.
Yes. Cook eggs with Circassian cheese in a nonstick pan without added butter, or use a little neutral cooking oil to prevent sticking. The dish will taste less buttery, but the cheese still provides plenty of flavor.
Refrigerate leftover eggs with Circassian cheese promptly in a covered container and eat them within a few days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave; high heat can make the eggs rubbery and the cheese tougher.
It is best to cook eggs with Circassian cheese just before serving, because cooked eggs can turn dry and firm when reheated. You can crumble and portion the cheese ahead, then cook the dish fresh when needed.
