Soft boiled eggs over green sauce and skyr

Green Çilbir

This soft-boiled egg version of Turkish eggs is simple, delicious, and covered in a homemade green sauce. The jammy egg gives a hint of texture to the normally soft dish, and the green chili sauce adds heat and a hint of freshness. All together it's my perfect breakfast.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 medium Serrano peppers, or one large jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
  • 1 cup (2 oz) fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, about 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 cup greek yogurt or skyr
  • 2 slices bread of choice, toasted
  • Olive oil and black pepper, for finishing

Instructions 

  1. In a small pot, boil two eggs for 6 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath.
  2. Add 2 serrano peppers, 1 cup of cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 2 teaspoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a food processor. Pulse until you have a green, chunky blend. Taste and season with more salt as preferred. It will be vibrant and slightly spicy.
  3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the green sauce into 1 cup of skyr. Stir to combine and season with more salt.
  4. Portion the skyr into two plates or bowls and evenly divide the remaining green sauce between them. Peel the eggs and put one on each portion. Top with pepper, olive oil and serve with crusty bread!
