Cook a little tomato paste briefly in oil, then add the eggs and cook gently. Stir in grated cheese near the end so it melts, and add chopped dill just before serving to keep its fresh flavor.
A mild, good-melting cheese works best in eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste. Grated cheese blends easily into the eggs; add it near the end of cooking so it melts without becoming oily or overcooked.
Cook the tomato paste briefly in the pan before adding the eggs. This softens its raw, concentrated flavor and helps it coat the eggs evenly; loosen it with a small splash of water if it is too thick.
Add the chopped dill at the very end of cooking. Stirring it in just before you take the eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste off the heat preserves more of its fresh aroma than cooking it for a long time.
Yes, you can use chopped fresh tomatoes, but the result will be juicier and less concentrated. Cook the tomatoes until some of their liquid evaporates before adding the eggs, or the dish may turn watery.
No. Eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste get their distinctive flavor from dill, cheese and tomato paste, while menemen is typically built around fresh tomatoes and peppers. The ingredients and resulting texture are different.
Yes, but briefly cooking the paste in the pan first gives eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste a less raw, more rounded flavor. If you skip this step, mix the paste thoroughly into the eggs so it does not remain in lumps.
Serve eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste with toast or crusty bread, which pairs well with the savory egg mixture. A simple side of sliced cucumber or tomatoes adds freshness without competing with the dill and cheese.
Cooked eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste keep for about 3–4 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate them promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, reheat eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste gently in a covered pan over low heat. Stop as soon as they are hot; high heat or prolonged reheating can make the eggs tough and the cheese greasy.

Eggs with dill, cheese and tomato paste is a simple pan-cooked dish made by combining eggs with tomato paste, dill and kaşar, a mild Turkish semi-hard cheese. The eggs can be left soft or cooked through, depending on preference.
The tomato paste brings a savoury tang, while melted cheese adds richness and dill gives the dish a fresh, herbal note. In Turkey, it makes a quick hot breakfast with bread and tea; elsewhere, it also works well as an easy brunch or light supper. It provides protein and calcium, with 11.6 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use just enough oil to cook the eggs and serve with fresh vegetables or a crisp salad.
