Turkish Eggs

Turkish Eggs, or Cilbir. One of the most delicious ways to eat eggs, and incredibly high in protein. Scooped up with a crusty olive loaf, this is a breakfast that's hearty but won’t leave you slumped for the whole day.

Notes

To poach eggs well, keep the water just below a boil. You want a gentle simmer, not rolling bubbles, or the whites will break apart. Crack the eggs into a small bowl first, then slide them in gently. After about 2 minutes, the eggs will start to lift and float slightly in the water, which is a good sign that the whites have set and the yolk is still runny. Lift them out with a slotted spoon when the whites feel just firm but the centre still has a wobble.
