Whisk the eggs, milk, zahter, salt, and black pepper in a deep bowl for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth.
Lay the stale bread slices in the mixture for 30 seconds, turn them, and let the other side soak for another 30 seconds.
Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium heat and cook the bread slices for 6 minutes, until both sides are golden.
Transfer to a plate and sprinkle sumac over the top.
Serve hot; tea and sliced tomatoes go well alongside.
💡 Tip: Let the zahter sit for 5 minutes before adding it to the egg mixture so its aroma opens into the fat. Sprinkle the sumac just before serving, not during cooking, to preserve its volatile aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place the hot slices on a plate, sprinkle with extra sumac, and complete the Kilis breakfast table with sliced tomatoes, olives, and strong tea.
