Mince releases liquid as soon as it hits the pan. Add the eggs before that liquid has gone and breakfast comes out watery. Wait for the mince to dry out and brown lightly; it takes eight minutes and it changes the flavour completely.
Ingredients
For the pan
Method
-
Brown the mince
Cook the mince in butter for 8 minutes, turning, until it has released its liquid, dried out and browned lightly.
-
Add the vegetables
Add the onion and pepper and cook for 4 minutes.
-
Season
Stir in the salt, black pepper and chilli flakes.
-
Crack in the eggs
Crack the eggs over the mince.
-
Cook

Tips
- Let the mince dry out and brown a little; browned mince tastes like an entirely different thing.
- Use fatty mince, as lean mince dries out in the pan.
- Leave the eggs alone for a fried finish, or stir them for something closer to menemen.
