Basturma eggs

Method

1. 1 Slice the basturma very thinly; this marinated beef jerky is very flavorful, so the slices need to be thin.
2. 2 Sear the battered batturma slices in a pan with butter for just 30 seconds on each side to soften the red spice.
3. 3 After 40 seconds, the batter is tough like leather and the spice coating burns bitterly.
4. 4 Crack the egg over the slice of meat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover with a lid.
5. 5 Cook for 3 minutes until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny.
6. 6 Sprinkle with pepper, chili powder, and parsley, then eat immediately with pita bread. No salt should be added as the meat is already salty enough.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 20 min

  Replace step 2: place the basturma slices in the air fryer at 180 degrees for 2 minutes, no need to spray oil, and flip after 1 minute to soften the seasoning without burning; steps 4 and 5 still involve cracking eggs and covering the pan.
