Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 small cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
8 large eggs
2 large pinches red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch watercress, tough stems trimmed
1 small whole-wheat baguette, split, toasted and cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, garlic, dill, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; stir until smooth. Spread the yogurt on 4 plates.
  • Bring about 3 inches of water to a boil in a wide pot. Add the vinegar and reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer. Crack 4 eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Carefully lower each egg into the water. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and blot the bottoms dry on a kitchen towel. Divide among the plates. Let the water return to a simmer and repeat with the remaining 4 eggs; add to the plates. Season the eggs with a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Toast the walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes, then stir in the butter until melted. Spoon over the eggs.
  • Toss the watercress with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl; divide among the plates. Serve with the bread.

TURKISH EGGS (CILBIR)



Turkish Eggs (Cilbir) image

At my age I feel like I've seen and done it all, so you can only imagine my shock at finding a new way to do eggs. I would never have thought to pair yogurt with poached eggs and a spicy red pepper butter, but it might be my new favorite breakfast now. Fried eggs also work in this, any way you like 'em. Serve with toasted crusty bread for dipping.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1 clove garlic
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or to taste
½ stick unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Aleppo chili flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon diced jalapeno pepper
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar, or as needed
4 large eggs
1 pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Spoon yogurt into a medium bowl. Grate in garlic and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add dill and mix thoroughly. Set aside at room temperature.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; heat until bubbles begin to burst. Add cumin, paprika, and chili flakes. Stir until color is uniform, then turn off heat and let spices infuse.
  • Grind parsley and jalapeno together in a mortar. Season with salt, drizzle in olive oil, and stir to combine.
  • Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl then gently slip egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, and place onto a warm plate.
  • Dollop yogurt mixture onto serving plates. Use the back of a spoon to spread yogurt out into a bed for the eggs, carving ridges into the top to catch the oil. Drizzle on some jalapeno oil. Top with eggs and a spoonful or two of the Aleppo butter. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

Don't miss out on any yolk, butter, or yogurt in our take on the traditional Turkish breakfast known as cilbir; serve with plenty of crusty bread.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 small clove garlic, finely grated (1/4 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 large eggs
Chive blossoms, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine yogurt, garlic, and chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add paprika and cayenne; remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
  • Fill a large, shallow saucepan with 2 inches water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a coffee cup and slowly slide into water. Repeat with remaining egg. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Divide yogurt mixture between plates. Top with eggs; drizzle with butter mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and chive blossoms; serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect poached egg, use fresh eggs and bring the water to a simmer before adding them. Swirl the water gently to help the egg white wrap around the yolk.
  • To make the yogurt sauce, use a good quality yogurt that is thick and creamy. Add some lemon juice and salt to taste. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or chives.
  • For the spicy sage butter, use unsalted butter and fresh sage leaves. Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat until it is melted. Add the sage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are fragrant. Remove the sage leaves and discard.
  • Serve the poached eggs with the yogurt sauce and spicy sage butter immediately. You can also top the eggs with some crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of paprika.

Conclusion:

Turkish poached eggs with yogurt and spicy sage butter is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The poached eggs are perfectly cooked and the yogurt sauce and spicy sage butter add a delicious flavor combination. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
