Menemen (Spicy Turkish Scrambled Eggs)

Submitted by Cluich

"This has become a regular for me. I make it whenever I'm cooking breakfast just for myself (my family's not a big fan of the chilies and tomatoes mixed in with the eggs, but I love it). It might look like a pile of slop, but it tastes soooooo good! Seed the chilies if you fear the heat. Either way, these make a delicious breakfast, served with toast or, ideally, Turkish bread."
