pizza crust made of delicious cauliflower. You wouldn’t believe that cauliflower was used to make the pizza dough for this decadent, grain-free pie. Serve with your preferred sauce and garnishes.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 2
Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  2. ¼ cup chopped onion
  3. 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
  4. 2 tablespoons diced Aleppo chiles, or to taste
  5. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  6. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  7. ¼ cup chopped tomato
  8. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  9. 3 large eggs, beaten
  10. 1 tablespoon thinly sliced basil leaves
  11. 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, chiles, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, with their juices, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Add eggs to the skillet, tilting the skillet until eggs cover skillet completely. Do not mix. Cook until eggs are set, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Top with basil and feta cheese.
  4. You can substitute green bell peppers for the red, serrano chiles for the Aleppo peppers (since they can be hard to find), and cilantro or parsley for the basil.

This recipe is amazing! I didn’t have Alepeppo pepper so I used a couple of green chiles. No fresh tomatoes so I used a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes, undrained. No fresh basil so used dried. I sauteed the veges until they were dry. I did put the pan under the broiler for a couple of minutes to set the eggs and soften the feta. I served these with Chef John’s pita bread and fried green tomatoes, and tzatziki. Wonderful hearty breakfast! I loved the flavors!

This is a quick and delicious recipe and quite attractive to serve. I didn’t have the peppers suggested so substituted jalapenos. It was a bit too hot for our tastes. This is a great dish for a spur-of-the moment dinner. Great with warm French bread (which cut the fire!).

What a fresh delicious breakfast! Our family has ties to Turkey thru military service and foreign exchange students so we were excited to get a taste of Turkey. We loved this dish! I used Serrano chilies and Queso Fresco as substitutes. Other than that, it was made exactly according to the directions. I used a large frying pan so the egg mixture would be thin, since you’re not supposed to flip or mix the mixture. I also covered the pan once I added the cheese and Basil. Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe!

The ingredients all seemed to be really good but the bottom was overcooked/burned in spots before the top was done. I wonder if a lid earlier in the process would help? Someone else mentioned putting it under the broiler to finish cooking the top which I will try next time.

Just okay. Followed closely but didn’t have chilies so doubled up on green and red peppers. Guess we prefer the flavors and cheeses of a Mexican Frittata.

I used Chipotle powder because I couldn’t find my Aleppo. Used egg substitute and low fat feta. Love Allrecipes because I can adjust recipes to 2 servings. It was quite spicy and delicious.

It was delish! I surprised my Turkish wife with this recipe. She loved it.
Paul Oliver
Very, very versatile recipe. Thanks. Gustavo.
Tiffany Romero
This was absolutely delicious! I love the kick it has from the peppers. I used an 8-inch skillet. The eggs didn’t set in the allotted time so I put the pan under the broiler for a few minutes to finish the cooking. That did the trick. This took a little bit of time with all the sauteeing and chopping, so it’s probably best to make for breakfast when you have more time.

Super yummy! I’m a fan of all Turkish dishes. I was fortunate to live there for a few years. Thank you for the recipe.
David Sanford
Really enjoyed this egg dish. Healthy, easy to make and a nice change compared to scramble, boiled or fried egg
Misty Hull
Made this with 4 eggs and same amount of everything else. It ended up being a little bland but likely due to my deviation. Great recipe though, thank you!
Edward Nguyen
Easy to make and delicious. What’s more is, it doesn’t break your bank. Loved it.
