Tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese is made by cooking sliced peppers in a little oil, adding chopped tomatoes, then melting grated kaşar over the softened vegetables. Let excess tomato liquid evaporate before adding the cheese.
Kaşar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a mild, savory flavor that melts well in tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese. It is not cheddar, though mild cheddar can work as a substitute if kaşar is unavailable.
To keep tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese from getting watery, cook it uncovered so the tomatoes’ liquid can evaporate. Add the cheese only when the vegetables have thickened, and avoid using especially watery tomatoes.
Green long peppers, such as Turkish sivri biber, are a traditional-style choice for tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese. Sweet red peppers also work and give the dish a sweeter flavor; combining the two creates a more balanced taste.
Tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese is commonly served with bread to scoop up the soft vegetables and melted cheese. It also works as a side for rice or grilled foods, or as part of a Turkish-style breakfast spread.
Yes, eggs can be added to tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese for a heartier skillet meal. Once the peppers and tomatoes are cooked, stir in beaten eggs or crack them on top, then add kaşar near the end.
Yes, tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese can be made with unpeeled tomatoes. Chop them finely so the skins soften as they cook; peeling is optional and mainly gives the finished sauté a smoother texture.
You can freeze tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese, but the thawed vegetables may be softer and the melted cheese can turn grainy. For the best texture, freeze the cooked pepper-and-tomato base and add fresh kaşar after reheating.
Reheat tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese in a covered pan over low heat, stirring gently until hot. If it seems dry, add a small splash of water; avoid prolonged high heat, which can make the cheese oily.
Yes, tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese can be served for a Turkish-style breakfast, especially while the cheese is still melted. It is also suitable as a quick lunch or a vegetable side, so it is not limited to breakfast.

Tomato pepper sauté with kaşar cheese is a homestyle Turkish dish made by cooking peppers and tomatoes in a pan, then adding kaşar so it melts into the vegetables. The result is saucy and savoury, with the cheese bringing a mild, pleasantly stretchy richness.
In Turkey, it may be served hot at breakfast, as a light meal, or alongside other dishes, with bread for soaking up the juices. Elsewhere, it works well as a quick vegetarian lunch or a colourful side. The vegetables contribute fibre, while the cheese makes it more filling and adds protein: a 100 g portion has 5.5 g. Use a little less oil or cheese if you’d prefer a lighter sauté.
