Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs)

I was recently introduced to this food by our friends here. We liked it and I figured that a scrambled egg variation (with some spice!) would be an easy food to try for my first go at a Turkish recipe.

This recipe is eaten with lots of bread. In fact, I was told, that many people here eat it without utensils, but use the bread to scoop up the eggs right from the pan. We actually really liked the egg/bread combo! (We cheated and used silverware though!)


Recipe:
1 onion, finely chopped
4 tomatoes
4 green hot peppers (gives it a little kick!)
8 eggs
1 tsp. paprika
salt, pepper to taste
shredded cheese (on top, optional)
