Heat the oil in a pan and fry the basturma slices for 2 minutes on each side, to make them crisp.

Add the tomatoes and let them break down for 4 minutes over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the pan over the mixture, then cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes.
Lay the crisp basturma over the eggs, add pepper and serve hot.
