Sadly, I’ve never been to Turkey so I have no idea if this is actually what they eat for breakfast. That said, this is one of my favorite dishes created by Chef David Vogler of Darwin Cafe in San Francisco. It’s easily made for just one or scaled up for a crowd since everything is served at room temperature and doesn’t require a full place setting. It’s also perfect for accommodating lots of different diets. Vegan? Stick to the toast, figs, and tomatoes. Gluten-free or Keto? Skip the toast.
This is my go-to fall breakfast when I want to take it slow, sip coffee, and listen to a podcast while I nibble on fresh figs and heirloom tomatoes. Best enjoyed from August to October when the figs and tomatoes are in season.
