Çılbır

Çılbır is a Turkish dish of poached eggs with yogurt (often with garlic mixed in).^[1]

There are records of çılbır being eaten by Ottoman sultans as far back as the 15th century.^[2] It is now common to serve the dish topped with melted butter infused with Aleppo pepper,^[3] for which paprika can be substituted.

In several Balkan countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, the Turkish word çılbır is rendered as čimbur and refers to a dish of fried eggs. Almost identical is the Panagyurski style eggs dish in Bulgaria.
