About Cilbir

Cilbir is a traditional Turkish dish made with poached eggs served over a creamy bed of garlicky yogurt, often topped with a drizzle of melted butter flavored with paprika or Aleppo pepper. Sometimes fresh herbs, chili flakes, or ground pepper are added for extra flavor. Originating from Ottoman cuisine, this dish is both flavorful and simple, offering a balance of protein-rich eggs and probiotic-packed yogurt. The yogurt base contributes to gut health, while the eggs provide essential amino acids and vitamins. However, the butter topping, while adding indulgent richness, can be high in saturated fat depending on the quantity used. Cilbir is often paired with crusty bread or pita, adding carbohydrates to the meal. Overall, it’s a vibrant and nutritious option that can fit well into a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
