Turkish Egg Recipe

Ingredients-

  • 2 eggs

  • 3 tbsp vinegar

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley/coriander

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 roughly grounded red chillies

  • Salt as needed


How to perfectly poach the eggs-


Fill a pot approximately 3/4th with water, add vinegar (1 tbsp for every litre of water), and bring to a boil. As soon as air bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pot, stir the water lightly with a spoon in a circular motion, now add your egg slowly in the center. Do it one egg at a time.

Cook for approximately 3 minutes, for a runny consistency. Slowly remove the egg and drain it on a kitchen towel.

Follow the same procedure for the other egg.


Procedure-


1.Finely chop parsley/coriander. Add the Greek yogurt to a bowl. Finely chop the garlic cloves into the yogurt. Add the chopped parsley/coriander. Add salt as per taste, mix well, and set aside.


2. In a pan, brown some butter over medium heat. Turn off the heat, to it add olive oil and freshly grounded red chillies. Give it a stir and set aside. Your chilli butter is ready!


3. Place the yogurt mix evenly in a deep dis. Carefully place the poached eggs over the yogurt. Pour the chilli butter.


4.Garnish with fresh parsley/coriander and serve with toasted sourdough bread. Enjoy! I love having this as a breakfast. It's incredibly tasty and filled with goodness.
