Step-By-Step Cilbir Recipe
Start by boiling the water. Get a medium saucepan and fill half the saucepan with boiled water. Turn on the heat and let the water boil a little longer in the saucepan. Meanwhile, you can start preparing the ingredients for Cilbir.
Take the Greek yogurt in a large bowl.
Add the crushed garlic. If your clove of garlic is large, that will be enough. But if the garlic cloves are small, you can use 3-4 of them. The taste of garlic should be well evident in Greek yogurt.
Tip 1: If you don’t have a garlic crusher, add a little salt while chopping it into small pieces with a knife and continue chopping. This will enhance its flavor.
Add salt to the yogurt and mix well. Make sure everything is well mixed together.
Remove your serving plate and place the Greek yogurt on the bottom of the plate.
Take out a non-stick pan. Put it on the stove and start preheating.
Put the bacon on it and cook it front and back.
When the bacon is crispy, add 1 teaspoon of butter, turn off the stove and cook a little while stirring in a pan with the flame turned off.
Get a small bowl. First, break 1 egg into the bowl.
Then add vinegar to the boiling water.
Mix the water and make a whirlpool.
As the vortex continues to spin, put the egg into it.
Tip 2: Break the eggs into the bowl first, then transfer them to the saucepan, as putting the eggs directly into the saucepan can cause them to spoil.
Tip 3: Adding vinegar to the water prevents the egg from breaking down, while also preventing it from losing its protein in boiling water. Please do not skip this as this is an important detail.
Cook the egg in boiling water on low heat for 1 minute without touching it.
Apply the process separately for each egg. So when one egg is cooked, take it out and put in the second one.
Put the egg that you took out of the water on the Greek yogurt while it is still hot.
Now you have spread Greek yogurt on the bottom of the plate.
Put the poached eggs on it.
Now it’s time to make a sauce from butter.
Get your smallest pan. Put it on the smallest part of the stove and start preheating as we do before cooking or frying everything.
Put 1 tablespoon of butter in a sufficiently heated pan. You can see it foam up a bit as the oil melts and starts to heat up.
At this very moment, add paprika. If you delay adding the paprika, the butter may burn.
Therefore, add the red pepper immediately after it melts and heat it a little with the butter.
Drizzle the butter over the egg with Greek yogurt.
Then put the fried bacon on the top.
And it’s ready!
We hope you try this dish. Because once you try it, you will want to make it every day. It is both healthy, ready in a short time, and delicious.
