1 cup plain Turkish yogurt(room temperature)
1-2 clove garlic, mashed with salt
2 eggs
3 cups water
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp salt

Garnish:
1 tbsp butter

Whisk and place the yogurt and garlic on a service plate.

Boil the water with the salt and vinegar in a large pot. After bubbling, turn down the heat to medium-low.

Crack the eggs into the water side by side. Cover the lid and let the eggs cook for 3 minutes.

Take the eggs out with a perforated spoon. Place the eggs over the yogurt on the service plate.

Melt the butter in a small skillet and add the red pepper. Pour over the eggs when you see it start bubbling.

Serve this dish while still hot with bread on the side.

Hi Binnur. I'm sorry to comment so long after the post, but I wanted to tell you how much I love this recipe. I've made it for breakfast two days in a row, and I might even go to the store for more yogurt so I can have it for dinner tonight too!

I've never tried Turkish food before, but this site was highly to me recommended by someone. I just made these eggs for lunch for myself and my 2 young children. I couldn't believe how simple and delicious our meal was. Thank you for posting these recipes! :oD
