I love these quick and flavorful jammy eggs with a chili butter & garlic yogurt. This recipe is inspired by the popular Turkish dish, Çılbır.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 (5.3 oz) containers of yogurt or Skyr
  • Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 large garlic clove, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Chopped parsley for topping
  • Toasted bread of your choice for serving

Instructions

  • Make the Chili Butter:

    • In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter on medium-low heat with olive oil.
    • Once melted and shimmering, add chili flakes and Aleppo pepper. Let it bubble and infuse for a few minutes. Stir well, then remove from heat and set aside.

  • Prepare the Garlic Yogurt:

    • In a bowl, mix yogurt or Skyr with lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and grated garlic.
    • For an extra smooth texture, blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Mix well and set aside.

  • Cook the Jammy Eggs:

    • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and set a timer for 6 1/2 minutes.
    • Drain and immediately rinse under cold water or place in an ice bath. Peel the eggs.

 

  • Assemble the Dish:

    • Spread the garlic yogurt mixture on a plate or bowl.
    • Cut the jammy eggs in half and place them on top.
    • Drizzle with the chili butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
    • Serve with toasted bread and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chili Butter Tip: The longer you let the butter and spices infuse, the richer the flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Swap yogurt with a plant-based alternative.
  • Make-Ahead: The yogurt mixture and chili butter can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

 

  • Serving Suggestion: Pairs perfectly with sourdough, pita, or naan bread.
