How to Make Egyptian Fried Eggs With Pastrami

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or spray in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 50g of pastrami (bastirma) to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy but not burnt. Be careful, it crisps quickly!

  4. Gently slide the eggs and pastrami onto a serving plate.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper (or your preferred spices).
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) and a squeeze of lemon juice, or fruit, as desired.
  7. Serve immediately with warmed pita bread.
