As adults, we often grapple with the task of planning daily meals, especially breakfast. We’re not always eager to cook complex and time-consuming meals, and prolonged standing by the stove is hardly an alluring prospect. Doing the same thing daily can be monotonous – after all, even the most delicious dish can lose its charm after a while. Luckily, some recipes allow us to create tasty meals quickly and easily.

One such dish is Turkish eggs. They are a delicious and beautifully presented alternative to classic scrambled or fried eggs. One taste, and you’ll understand why this may just become your new favorite breakfast dish!

Making Turkish Eggs

Ingredients:

Approximately 10.58 ounces of thick natural yogurt,
4 eggs,
2 cloves of garlic,
2 tablespoons of butter,
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika powder,
A pinch of hot paprika powder,
A handful of parsley,
2 tablespoons of apple vinegar,
1 teaspoon of lemon juice,
Salt and pepper to taste.

Method:

To begin, prepare the sauce. Pour the yogurt into a bowl, add garlic that has been put through a press along with the lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and store the mixture in the fridge.
Next, add water to a saucepan along with two tablespoons of apple vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat. As the water begins to boil, stir rapidly and carefully add an egg into the whirlpool.
Give it a moment till the egg white encases the yolk. After a few moments, the egg will coagulate. Safely remove it with a slotted spoon.
Melt the butter and briefly fry the spices in it, finishing by adding the dill and parsley.
Spread the sauce on a plate, position the eggs over it, and drizzle with herbed butter and spices. Turkish eggs are best served with fresh bread. Enjoy!
