Turkish-style eggs: how to prepare a familiar dish in a new way

In Ukraine, eggs are a truly irreplaceable product. They are boiled, fried in various ways and even eaten raw. But in Turkey, this product is also eaten in its own way. A boiled poached egg is placed on a yogurt pillow with pepper oil. It turns out to be a full-fledged restaurant dish, very nutritious and tasty.

The idea of cooking Turkish-style eggs with yogurt was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Yulia (stucnean.buns).
