Warm the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet and cook the onion and green pepper over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up, and brown for 5 minutes with the paprika, pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Stir in the diced tomato and cook until it collapses into a loose sauce, about 6 minutes.
Flatten the mixture into an even layer, then use a spoon to make 5 small wells in the surface.
Crack an egg into each well, cover the pan, and cook on low until the whites are just set but the yolks are still soft, 5–6 minutes.
💡 Covering the pan cooks the tops of the eggs with steam so you don't have to flip anything.
Bring the pan straight to the table with bread for scooping.
Where menemen keeps eggs meatless, this variation folds in ground beef to make the same skillet filling enough for a full meal, a common move in Turkish homes when breakfast food gets pressed into service for dinner. It travels straight from stovetop to table in the pan it cooked in.
