Poblano chilies are Mexican in heritage, but their earthy flavor and mild heat make them ideal for this version of Turkish-style scrambled eggs. Using Aleppo pepper nudges the dish even closer to traditional Turkish flavors, but if you don't happen to have any, regular red pepper flakes work, too. Serve on warmed plates to prevent the eggs from cooling down too quickly.

Tip

Don’t wait until the eggs are firm and fully set before removing the pan from the heat; the eggs will continue to cook in the time it takes to portion and serve.
