About Turkish eggs

Turkish Eggs, known as "Çılbır," are a flavorful and nutritious dish originating from Ottoman-era Turkish cuisine. This dish features poached eggs served over a bed of creamy, tangy garlic-infused yogurt, often garnished with a drizzle of sizzling paprika-spiced butter and fresh dill or parsley for added freshness. Sometimes crusty bread is served alongside for dipping. High in protein, thanks to the eggs and yogurt, Turkish Eggs support muscle repair and help maintain energy levels. Yogurt provides probiotics for gut health, while the olive oil or butter used in the spiced drizzle adds healthy fats but should be consumed in moderation. The dish is rich in flavor yet light, making it a satisfying and health-conscious option for breakfast or brunch.
