Turkish-style Eggs with Whipped Ricotta and Brown Butter. Soft-boiled eggs with a garlicky whipped ricotta, yogurt and chili brown butter.
The magic of warm runny eggs and cold, creamy yogurt whipped with ricotta and served with spicy browned butter, will definitely blow your mind.
Many serve eggs or yogurt for breakfast, but usually never together. But there’s this traditional Turkish dish called çilbir that consists of poached eggs served over garlicky yogurt. But while I love a good poached egg, they’re a bit tricky to pull off on a weekday. With this recipe you’ll turn your breakfast or lunch into an easy magical dish.
But it’s not just the combination of eggs and yogurt that makes this recipe so special. We put a spin on the classic and combine yogurt with creamy ricotta, a pinch of za’atar and sumac. Although the key to really good Turkish eggs however, is the burnt chili butter. We make a mix of butter with olive oil, chili flakes and smoked paprika. Pretty simple, but it really packs in the flavor. One of the best sauces you can spoon over eggs.
Serve with a golden toast fried to a crisp in butter. So addictive.
A delicious egg dish, perfect for busy mornings or lunches, but even better for late nights!

Am I boiling the eggs IN the shell?
Yes! Then run under cold water before peeling. Hope you’ll love it. Happy cooking!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Can you share the Crispy toast in butter directions, please??
Hi, sure! Heat a skillet over medium, melt 2 tbsp salted butter and add 2 thick slices bread. Cook until golden, turn and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve warm, enjoy!
