Fried Eggs & Olives (Zeytin Mihlasi)

March 6, 2018 by eeturner Leave a Comment

Zeytin Mihlasi is a delicious Turkish dish that predominately consists of olives and eggs. The ratio of olives to eggs is at least 2 to 1 so if you love olives, then you’ll love this dish. It’s like an olive omelette amplified.

Here’s the recipe:

Fried Eggs & Olives (Zeytin Mihlasi)

  • 2.5 c green olives (pitted & roughly chopped)
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 T tomato paste
  • 2 T red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 4 T butter
  • 2 T olive oil
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

Preparation:

In a medium frying pan, add the butter, olive oil and onions. Sautee the onions until they are tender.

Then add the olives, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until the paste is well incorporated with the olives.


Then crack 5 eggs directly on top of the olive mixture in different corners of the pan like a clock. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the eggs are done. NOTE: “Done” depends on whether you like your eggs runny or fully cooked so cook them according to your personal preference.


Serve immediately & Enjoy!
