Method

• step 1

  Mix together the olives, tomatoes and cucumber with the dried oregano, some olive oil and seasoning. Decant into a serving bowl. Arrange the feta, cream, jam and honey in little serving bowls.

• step 2

  To make the menemen, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with a splash of olive oil, add the onion and fry for 10 minutes until soft and golden. Add the red pepper and fry for 5 minutes until soft and slightly golden at the edges. Add the tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes until soft. Stir through the butter.

• step 3

  Gently fold the eggs into the onion and pepper mixture. Continue to gently fold until just set and serve with warmed flatbreads (make sure they're gluten-free if you're following a gluten-free diet) and black tea.
