Yufka

Yufka is a delightful Turkish flatbread dish, often enjoyed at breakfast, filled with fresh vegetables and herbs. This vegetarian version is light yet satisfying, perfect for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

• Yufka bread - 2 sheets
• Spinach - 100 grams, chopped
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Eggs - 2 large
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Green bell pepper - 1 small, diced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
2. Add the chopped spinach and diced green bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until the spinach is wilted.
3. Stir in the diced tomato, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Remove the vegetable mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly before mixing in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and pour in the beaten eggs, swirling to cover the pan evenly.
7. Cook the eggs on low heat until they are just set but still soft, about 4-5 minutes.
8. Place a sheet of yufka bread on a flat surface and layer half of the vegetable and feta mixture in the center.
9. Fold the yufka over the filling, creating a parcel, and repeat with the second sheet.
10. Carefully transfer the filled yufka to the skillet and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
11. Slice the yufka in half and serve warm, optionally garnished with extra parsley.
