Turkish Eggs (DF)
The most satisfying breakfast you’ll ever eat – delicious herb yogurt base, topped with spiced butter and perfect poached eggs, what’s not to love?! The first time I ate this my world changed, and it’s now a regular in my house because I love all things saucy! These Turkish Eggs are my favorite indulgence, and really keep me full for a long time. This recipe is also dairy free (DF), making it that much better!
Notes
Because I’m dairy free, I use cashew yogurt and vegan butter (links below). But feel free to use the good stuff – real dairy! I do miss it, but my health is better without it – you can read more about that on my ‘about me’ section. If you are going for a dairy free yogurt, try to use one that’s as savory/bitter as unsweetened greek yogurt. For instance, coconut yogurt won’t work well for this dish, the sweet element will clash with the flavors.

Turkish Eggs (DF)
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, organic
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
- cayenne pepper, dash
- 1/3 cup cashew yogurt or your choosing, see notes
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp vegan butter, or regular
- chilli flakes
- ciabatta bread of your choosing – I use gluten free
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by getting all of your ingredients out, and pop the kettle on/place a small pot on a low heat. Make your yogurt base next. In a small bowl, mix your yogurt, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Now for the poached eggs and the spiced butter sauce. Once your hot water is in the pot, add a dash of vinegar, and bring it to a gentle boil. Crack in your egg into a small shallow bowl, and gently slide the egg into the water.. the small bowl allows you to get closer to the bottom without dropping the egg in from a distance and breaking. Repeat for the 2nd egg. Place the lid on and let the water come back to a gentle boil in the background. Pop your toast in at this point.
- While the eggs cook (about 3-4 mins soft, 5-6 medium / hard yolk), in a small saucepan, melt your butter on a low heat. After about a minute, the butter should be melted. As it starts to gently bubble, add your cumin and cayenne pepper, as well as some chilli flakes. Stir gently and remove from the heat once the spices start to smell delicious. At this point, your eggs will be ready!
- To assemble, place your yogurt into a low bowl, top with your poached eggs, and drizzle the spice butter all over. I like to sprinkle some extra chopped parsley before I eat, and add a touch more salt and pepper on the eggs! Hope you like it!
