Turkish Style Eggs-Cilbir
Turkish Style Eggs-Cilbir is a delicious and popular Turkish dish consisting of poached eggs served on a bed of garlic-infused yogurt and drizzled with a spicy chili-infused butter. It is often garnished with fresh herbs and served with warm bread for dipping.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons butter

- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
