Turkish Eggs (çılbır) By What Great Grandma Ate - Foodsocial
  1. Whisk together yogurt, garlic, lemon, dill, and sea salt in a bowl. Set aside.

  2. Heat a pot of water over medium heat. While the water heats up, crack the eggs over a fine mesh strainer set on a bowl to remove any stringy bits.

  3. Once the water is slightly simmering, stir a few times then gently add the eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolk are still runny.

  4. Transfer the eggs to a kitchen towel or a paper towel to soak up the moisture.

  5. In the meantime, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Once the butter turns golden and bubbly, add red pepper flakes. Stir until combined and remove from heat.

  6. Divide the yogurt mixture between two bowls, and top each with a poached egg. Drizzle with the spiced butter, and sprinkle with mint and dill leaves before serving.
