Mince the garlic and stir it in the yogurt. Add the salt. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Poach an egg. I add vinegar and salt to the water. I strain the egg first and squeeze a little lemon juice on it.<\/li>\n<li>Melt the butter gently in a seperate small saucepan until it is just beginning to turn brown. Don\u2019t burn it! Take it off the heat, stir in the chili flakes and paprika!<\/li>\n<li>Plate the yogurt, top with a poached egg, pour over the buttery sauce, eat with the whatever toasted bread you have on hand!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-547\" src=\"http:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Turkish Eggs\" width=\"604\" height=\"805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Turkish-Eggs.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Source:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Family recipe.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Delia Youssef Class Year: 2015 Country of Residence: Germany Why is this recipe great?
