Melt the butter completely in a pan over medium heat until its aroma starts to rise.
Add the flour and toast it for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it turns light brown.
Sprinkle in the salt, then crack the eggs directly over the flour.
Break up the eggs with a spatula or wooden spoon and mix them evenly into the flour, then cook for 3 minutes over medium-low heat.
Slice the pide open horizontally, spread the hot murtuga evenly inside, close it, and press-toast it in the pan for 2 minutes on each side.
Slice the pide toast, drizzle with honey or grape molasses, sprinkle with walnuts if desired, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you do not toast the flour until its color deepens, the mixture keeps a raw flour taste; wait until a nutty aroma rises.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with morning tea, alongside Kars gruyere or Van herbed cheese.
