11.  Make two dents in the mixture and break the eggs. 


12.  Cover the pan and cook on medium-low heat until the eggs are done to your desired consistency.


13. Serve with freshly ground black pepper.

 

NOTES: The original dish is made with ground beef, veal or lamb. It turned out amazingly well with soya granules.  The recipe for soya granules, a substitute for ground beef/veal/lamb which is often used in Turkish cooking, keeps well in the fridge for two days and can be used to make a variety of dishes. You can use this recipe link to prepare it in advance and add it to zucchini, eggplants, potatoes, spinach and other vegetables.
