<p>During Ottoman era, &ccedil;ilbir was simply the generic term for poached eggs prepared in a variety of ways. Over centuries, as the imperial cooks were improving different recipes, this particular variation supposedly became a favorite of the early 20th-century sultan Abdul Hamid II. The recipe became the gold standard across the empire, and even today &ccedil;ilbir stands for poached eggs doused in garlic-flavored yogurt. The dish is sprinkled with red pepper flakes and ground paprika, and typically served sided with pide bread.</p>

Dear Breakfast - Chiado

I was going through some old photos and came across this amazing breakfast I had in Lisbon last January—Turkish eggs that totally hit the spot.

The dish was super tasty: perfectly poached eggs on a creamy, garlicky yogurt base with a generous drizzle of spicy chili oil. There were crunchy seeds sprinkled on top, some herbs for freshness, and warm pita bread on the side to scoop everything up. It looked great and tasted even better.

The flavors were bold but still balanced, although I remember thinking it could’ve used just a bit more spice to really make it pop. Still, it was cozy, filling, and a really solid brunch choice.
