Çilbir (pronounced chil-burr) are perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks, served over a delicious garlicky herbal yoghurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil infused with Turkish pul biber. Enjoy it as a meze, or weekend breakfast and brunch.
Pul biber (flake pepper in Turkish), aka Aleppo pepper, is a coarsely ground Syrian and Turkish paprika. It’s fruity, tangy and mildly spicy and can be used to enhance a wide variety of dishes, from meats and vegetables to dips and even some desserts.

- Finely chop the dill and flat parsley. Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt. Using the flat side of the knife, gently squash the garlic to turn it into a fine paste.
- In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the garlic paste and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl. Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a deep simmer. Add apple cider vinegar (this will help to seal the egg whites). Reduce the heat until it's barely quivering. Stir the water to create a whirlpool and gently drop the egg into the water. Cook for 3 minutes for the perfect egg with a runny yolk. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and leave aside while you cook the remaining eggs.
- Melt the butter in a small pan. When the butter starts to bubble, add the pul biber. Gently infuse for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
- Spoon yoghurt onto two serving bowls or plates. Lay two eggs on the yoghurt. Drizzle the infused butter over the eggs and season with salt to taste. Scatter with chopped dill and/or parsley and serve immediately with flatbread, if you like.

That is a very weird combo indeed, but although they have lovely dishes, the Turks sometimes mix the strangest of things as well! And they do love their yoghurts, which I simply do not do, no way Hose.... We still war with them over whose is burek (it is ours of course)....
Looks fantastic Angie! Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
molto interessante questo piatto!
Looks great!!....I have done Turkish eggs in a kind of tomato sauce, but I have to try this variation!........Abrazotes, Marcela
Looks scrumptious!!!
That looks really delicious!

Good evening what an interesting dish thanks for sharing
What a combination of flavors
I absolutely love this dish. It's been a while since I last made it, but your note about using fresh eggs is key!

Here’s the thing with me and eggs. Years ago there was an outbreak of salmonella and it was deemed advisable to ensure that egg yolks were cooked thoroughly, so since then I have only eaten scrambled or hard boiled eggs. I can’t even stand looking at runny yolks! Maybe I’ll make scrambled eggs for breakfast!
Looks good :-D
Looks beautiful! So yummy!
Such an inviting dish! Awesome ❤️
Such a lovely dish, Angie! Çılbır with that garlicky yogurt and spiced butter sounds so comforting and full of flavour.
Ooh, that looks wonderful!
Alas, a recipe I will never get to try. I don't think this is one where shallots can be substituted...
Those perfectly poached eggs over the garlicky herb yoghurt are such a dream combo.
Another tasty dish. And an interesting combination.
