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

I recently discovered cilbir at a restaurant in New York and fell in love with it. On discovering our cab driver was Turkish, I mentioned to him my new favorite breakfast. He said he never heard of it and Turkish people would never eat such a thing! Is it regional? Was he just giving me a bad time? I was really confused by his complete dismissal of his people eating poached eggs (yes, he went so far as to say no poached eggs at all - with or without yogurt!). Is this controversial? Just curious. Thanks for the lovely, simple recipe.

Hi,
You might like to know that Cilbir is a traditional Turkish egg dish.

Dear Binnur,

I'm not able to get Turkish yogurt here in Scotland - can I use ordinary plain yogurt for this? It sounds wonderful and I'd love to try it out.

Thanks very much

Rena

Hi Rena,
Sure, you can use ordinary plain yogurt:) I stated Turkish yogurt because the taste of the dishes are always better with it;)
