A specialty for breakfast is called [[Menemen (food)|menemen]], which is prepared with tomatoes, green peppers, onion, olive oil and eggs. The breakfast menu can also include [[kuymak]] (depending on the province the dish is also known as ''muhlama, mıhlama'' and ''yağlaş'') or egg with spinach or potato. Another specialty is the [[Turks in the Balkans|Balkan Turkish]] dish [[çılbır]], also known as Turkish eggs, made with poached eggs and yogurt. Invariably, [[Turkish tea]] is served at breakfast.
