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!
