Instructions

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl and add the zahter, sumac, salt, and black pepper; whisk for 1 minute.
1 min01:00 - 2
Lay the stale bread slices in the mixture for 30 seconds, turn, and let the other side absorb it for 30 more seconds.
1 min01:00 - 3
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat, lay in the bread slices, and cook the first side for 3 minutes until golden.
3 min03:00 - 4
Turn the breads and fry the other side for 3 more minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain the excess oil.
3 min03:00 - 5
Slice the tomatoes into 1 cm rounds and place them beside the bread slices.
- 6
Place the hot slices on a plate and serve with extra sumac sprinkled over the top.
💡 Tip: Rub the zahter with olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes before adding it to the egg mixture to open its aroma. Do not cook the tomatoes; cold slices give the hot bread a sweet-salty contrast.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Plate the hot slices, sprinkle extra sumac on top, and complete the Hatay breakfast table with sliced tomatoes, fresh parsley, and strong brewed tea.
