Menemen is a meal that is easy and prepared to save the day for some, and an enormous delicacy that can be eaten every meal for others. In addition to its varieties with kasseri cheese and sujuk, it has recently come to prominence with the "with onion or without onion?" debates. It is in fact a special dish in terms of the care required in its cooking and choice of ingredients even though this traditional flavor is thought to be a bachelor or student dish, assuming that it is easy to make.
There are especially critical points to be considered when cooking menemen. Vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc. should be carefully selected. Menemen is a dish rich in vitamins that can be consumed every meal of the day easily due to the high nutritional ingredients such as eggs although menemen is thought to be a breakfast dish.
