A common description
GoTürkiye describes menemen as eggs, tomatoes and green peppers cooked in oil. It is often served at breakfast, sometimes with bread or simit. The same source mentions cheese or cured meat as possible additions in some versions.
Those details describe common examples, not a fixed ingredient list. Recipes and preferences can change between households and places.
Breakfast can be a whole table
GoTürkiye also describes a Turkish breakfast as a spread of smaller dishes and flavours. Menemen can sit among those foods, rather than having to stand alone as the whole meal.
If an ingredient matters for health or preference, ask the cook or restaurant. Neither a name nor a photo can confirm what is in a particular serving.
