Turkish eggs, also known as Cilbir, is a fresh and creamy egg dish with a twist. If you are looking for a new way to make fried eggs, this is such a perfect recipe to try. Traditionally made with yogurt, we substituted with a dairy-free version (coconut or almond milk yogurt will work fine), to make this dish paleo.
Tangy lemon juice and cumin powder add depth and flavor to what I hope becomes your new favorite bruch recipe.
Enjoy!
