Turkish Eggs Çilbir
Updated: Feb 22

Who let me live 26 years not ever having these Turkish eggs? This is probably one of the best recipes I have ever made and I cannot wait for you to try them. Not only is it delicious, but it is such a stress-free, simple breakfast you can make in under 15 minutes. These are Turkish Eggs Cilbur, which is poached eggs in yogurt. At first when I heard of this meal I thought there would be no way yogurt and eggs could taste good at all. But the garlic, salt, hot chili oil, and fresh dill brings these two food groups together deliciously. Especially when you dip fresh bread into the mix. When I was researching this recipe, I saw chefs making it in different ways so I tried making it the most simple way for you guys. This is not my recipe, I used Mediterranean's Dish's recipe and altered it a bit.
In the conversation of nutrition, you get approximately 28 grams of protein in this breakfast from the eggs and Greek yogurt. The carb source would come from the bread of choice for dipping and the healthy fats are from both the yogurt and hot chili oil. If you want more fiber in this breakfast, you can pair this with a side of fruit or choose a whole grain bread to dip with.
Overall, this recipe is so enjoyable and teaches you how to properly poach an egg. Do not be intimidated, it's actually a very easy process once you do it once! Let's get to the recipe.
