A staple of Van breakfast tables, otlu yumurta is made by gently cooking fresh dill, parsley, and mint with onion in a skillet, then cracking eggs over the herbs. Grated kashar cheese is sprinkled on top and melted.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sweat the onion and herbs

6 min

Cook the onion in the butter for 4 minutes, until softened. Add the chopped dill, parsley, and mint and cook gently for another 2 minutes.

2

Crack in the eggs

1 min

Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.

3

Add the kashar and cook

8 min

Sprinkle the grated kashar cheese over the top. Cover and cook over low heat for 8 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.

Reminder

Important: after adding the eggs, keep the skillet over low heat; otherwise, the bottom may burn while the tops remain raw. Contains egg and dairy (kashar cheese).
