Peel the casing off the sucuk and slice it into rounds about 0.5 cm thick.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the sucuk and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until it releases its fat and the edges crisp slightly.

Crack the eggs one by one into the gaps between the sucuk slices, keeping the yolks whole.
- 4
Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.

Serve hot from the pan, 2 eggs and a share of the sucuk per person.
