Garlicky Yogurt Topped with Çılbır, Turkish Poached Eggs

Writer: Culinary CamCulinary Cam

This is the part of our 2024 project: The Alphabet Challenge. Hosted by Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm, I thought this would be a fun culinary adventure. We will be posting every two weeks. I hope you follow along...or join in as you can. This has been fun. I can't believe that we only have one more letter to go.



Y is for...


Garlicky Yogurt Topped with Çılbır, Turkish Poached Eggs


If you follow me regularly, you'll know that I am a savory girl to the core. When my family wants something sweet for breakfast, I will almost always make myself a savory option. Now that Jake is off of sugar, I get to make all the savory deliciousness I prefer. He would usually object to a garlic-heavy dish in the morning, but he actually loved this.


This isn't really a recipe. It's super simple and a flexible process that can lean into whatever you happen to have on-hand. I switch out the cumin for fresh herbs when I have them. But there is always the garlic!


Ingredients

Yogurt

  • 1 cup Turkish or Greek yogurt

  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or mint


Eggs

  • 3 eggs (or more if needed)

  • water


Serving

  • olive oil

  • salt

  • pepper

  • Aleppo pepper flakes


Procedure

Yogurt

Whisk everything together in a small mixing bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

Eggs

Fill a saucepan with 3 to 4 inches of water. Bring water to a boil, then lower the heat until the water is at a simmer. Crack eggs into the simmering water. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let sit for 4 minutes. This results in eggs whose whites are completely cooked and the yolks are still runny. See photo above! Gently lift the poached eggs out of the pan with a slotted spoon and serve.


Serving

Spoon yogurt onto a serving platter. Top with eggs. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Aleppo pepper flakes. Serve immediately.


The Alphabet Challenge So Far...

My posts are below with links to everyone else's recipes. I skipped letter 'F' apparently. Enjoy!



One more letter to go. What are we going to do at the end of the year?!?! Maybe I'll have to go through the weeks and try some of the other bloggers' creations.

I love recipes that aren't really recipes, that means it's easyl Not to mention you would probably already have the ingredients on hand.

Ooh, a savory yogurt, love this! I've never had poached eggs before but you had me at runny yolks and I like garlic any time of day.
