Cilbir- Turkish Eggs

Cilbir or Turkish eggs are a typical breakfast dish in Turkey. Poached eggs served over creamy yoghurt and topped with hot chilli butter. Serve some good bread on the side and you have an incredibly good breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp dairy butter
  • 1 ½ tsp aleppo pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp vinegar 7%
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 x eggs
  • 4 tbsp turkish yoghurt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 slices sour dough bread
  • 1 handful fresh dill

Method

  1. Chili butter: Melt the butter in a pan and let it simmer until it starts to foam and turns golden. Add chilli powder and cumin, and set aside.
  2. Poached eggs: Boil a pot with water, vinegar and salt. When the water boils, turn the heat down to just below the boiling point. Make a swirl in the water and drop the eggs into the water one by one (you can also crack the egg in a small bowl first if you think it's easier). Leave the egg in the water for between 3-5 minutes (depending on the size of the eggs). "Swirl" the water a little along the way so the eggs get evenly cooked.
  3. Garlic yoghurt: Mix together yoghurt, finely grated garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  4. Spread the garlic yoghurt on a plate and place the poached eggs on top. Top with the chilli butter and a sprinkling of coarsely chopped dill. Serve with sourdough bread (or some other good bread. Preferably fried in some olive oil first!)
