Saw this on TV recently and gave it a try earlier - I must recommend it. Here’s my attempt:

Looks good, but I wouldn't sieve my eggs through a tea-strainer. :o

Turkish eggs made with Greek yoghurt? Is the woman trying to start a war? She should be part of Barmy Boris' team!

Tried it with two eggs and it was very good . I still enjoy Eggs Benedict too though. Or come to that poached eggs in any form! I did do the tea strainer bit.

What a palava!

Yogurt aside - cook your eggs in heated butter in a pan with a lid on and they'll be cooked through in a flash, add pepper flakes to the butter if you want or add as a topping instead.

That's how we cook Turkish eggs in our house as shown and served to us by some random Turkish villagers we met.

It's certainly much easier and we love eggs cooked in butter - village butter of course   ;)

I'll have to ask Dogan what he thinks about having the eggs on the yogurt and garlic. I've never heard of this before but he'd probably like it as he eats yogurt with every meal anyway.
