Turkish breakfast spread list — weekend table ready
Everyone wants to bring something to the weekend breakfast, and then the table has three cheeses and no olives. This list collects the staples of a full spread, and with a room code everyone ticks what they bring. No sign-up needed.
In short
A Turkish breakfast spread, known as serpme kahvaltı, is made of many small plates: white cheese, kashar, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, honey, clotted cream, jam, butter and sucuk sausage. Simit or fresh bread and plenty of strong tea go with it. For a big table, buy small amounts of many varieties rather than a lot of one.

Tips
Take the cheeses out of the fridge half an hour before serving; they taste fuller at room temperature.
Buy simit and bread fresh in the morning; if you bought them ahead, warm them briefly in the oven before serving.
For a bigger table, pick more varieties in small amounts rather than a lot of one cheese; the extra usually stays in the fridge.
Put the tea on before the guests sit down so it's ready by the time the table is set.

Frequently asked questions
What goes into a Turkish breakfast spread?
A classic table has cheeses (white cheese and kashar), olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, eggs, butter, honey, clotted cream, jam and sucuk. Tahini and molasses, simit or fresh bread, tea and orange juice complete it.
What can you prepare ahead for a Turkish breakfast?
Portion the cheeses, olives and jam onto small plates the evening before, cover them and refrigerate. In the morning only the eggs, sucuk, tea and simit are left; take the cheese out half an hour before serving.
How do you cook sucuk for breakfast?
Slice it into 1 cm rounds and fry in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes per side; it releases its own fat. Crack eggs over it if you want sucuklu yumurta, sucuk with eggs.
Can I change the list?
Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.
Do I need an account?
No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.
How long is the list kept?
As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
