Follow along with the 📝 recipes below👇🏾👇🏾
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vinegar, optional
- 1 clove of garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons savoury yoghurt
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1 Açma, sliced into cubes (açma is an oil/fat-enriched bread. To substitute; brioche or croissant will do great, even bagels or pita are ok)
- A tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Parsley leaves, to garnish
Instructions
- Place the açma cubes/chunks into a pan and toast until crispy for a couple of minutes.
- Fill a large frying pan with hot water up to halfway and bring to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt, the vinegar and simmer.
- Crack the eggs into the water and collect the egg whites with a spoon to form a roundish shape. Remember that fresher eggs will form much easier than the older ones so try to use fresh eggs.
- Crush the garlic and add to the water.
- Poach the eggs for about two minutes until the egg white becomes solid and the yolk becomes slightly pale.
- Take out the garlic after a minute and mash. Mix with the yoghurt and season with a pinch of salt.
- Place the crispy bread on a dish and pour over some yoghurt.
- Take out the eggs with a kitchen skimmer / small sieve and drain the excess water.
- Place the eggs on top of the bread and pour the rest of the yoghurt.
- Heat the butter in a small saucepan and sprinkle the red pepper flakes when the butter starts to brown. Mix the butter with a spoon to let the air molecules in and form a foamy texture.
- Pour the red butter over the eggs and garnish with some parsley.
- Çılbır is ready to blow your mind with crispy bread, silky and soft eggs, hot butter and refreshing yoghurt and parsley. Make sure to have a little bit of all of them in each spoon!
