Turkish Eggs Recipe - Cilbir
A Turkish eggs recipe packing loads of flavor into every bite, you have to try Çılbır to experience the flavors for yourself!
This dish is simple in process and takes just 20 minutes from start to finish, and it packs tons of flavor and texture in the process. Çılbır consists of a base of a strong, tangy yogurt, like Greek yogurt, paired with a punch of Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic. The seasoned yogurt mixture is then topped with poached eggs, Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil for crunch and heat, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley to bring the dish to life. The Chiu Chow Chili Crisp Oil takes the place of Aleppo pepper and olive oil in this version, adding umami, complex garlicky heat, and additional crispy textures to the Turkish Eggs recipe.
Enjoy this with sliced and warm crusty bread on the side for the ultimate contrast of flavors, textures, and temperatures that will wake up your palate and start the day off strong!
