Cilbir (Turkish-Style Poached Eggs in Yogurt)
Eggs for breakfast are delicious, quick, and most importantly, nutritious. We prepare this dish quite often and want to diversify it somehow. I offer a recipe for a completely new version of eggs - a dish from Turkish cuisine. Essentially, it is poached eggs in yogurt sauce with spices and herbs. It turns out original and very delicious.
Eggs
2 eggs
Yogurt
1 cup (plain)
Garlic
1 clove
Butter
1 tbsp
Vinegar
1 tbsp
Salt
1.5 tsp
Paprika
1 tsp
Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp (optional)
Parsley
To make Turkish-style poached eggs, pour 3 cups of water into a saucepan, add vinegar and 1 tsp of salt. When the water boils, reduce the heat and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 3 minutes over low heat.
It's better to crack each egg into a separate container before adding them to the boiling water.
Add minced garlic and 0.5 tsp of salt to the yogurt. Mix well.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a plate and drizzle with yogurt.
Melt butter in a skillet. When it starts to foam, add paprika, pepper, and optionally some dried Italian herbs to taste. Stir.
Pour the spiced butter over the eggs and yogurt, and sprinkle with herbs.
Cilbir - Turkish-style Poached Eggs is ready!
