Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste is a Turkish dish of poached eggs served over yogurt, topped with a warm olive-oil and tomato-paste sauce. The contrast between cool, tangy yogurt and soft egg yolk is central to the dish.
Make Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste by poaching eggs, spreading garlicky yogurt on a plate, and spooning the eggs on top. Briefly cook tomato paste in olive oil, loosen it with a little water, then drizzle the sauce over the eggs.
Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste is a Turkish take on çılbır, a long-established dish of poached eggs with yogurt. Recipes vary across households; the olive-oil and tomato-paste topping is a variation rather than the only traditional way to season it.
Yogurt gives Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste its cool, tangy base and balances the richness of the egg yolks and warm sauce. Garlic is often stirred into the yogurt, but plain yogurt also works if you prefer a milder flavor.
For Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste, use fresh eggs and slide each one gently from a small bowl into barely simmering water. A vigorous boil can break up the whites, so keep the water calm while the eggs cook.
Yes, cook the tomato paste briefly in olive oil before adding water to soften its sharp, raw taste in Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste. A small pinch of sugar can mellow the flavor, but avoid adding so much that the sauce tastes sweet.
Serve Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste with crusty bread, pita, or toast for scooping up the yogurt and runny yolk. A crisp salad or simply cooked vegetables make a fresh side without competing with the rich sauce.
You can prepare the yogurt and tomato-paste sauce for Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste ahead, but poach the eggs just before serving. The eggs taste best warm with soft yolks, and assembling the dish early can make the yogurt watery.
Refrigerate leftover Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste in a covered container and aim to eat it the next day. The poached eggs and yogurt lose their best texture during storage; reheat gently, since high heat can make the yogurt separate.
Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste is not necessarily spicy; the tomato paste mainly adds savory, concentrated tomato flavor. Add pul biber or black pepper to the olive-oil sauce if you want heat, or leave them out for a milder plate.

Çılbır with olive oil and tomato paste is a Turkish-style preparation of poached eggs served over yogurt, finished with a warm sauce made from olive oil and tomato paste. It draws on the familiar Turkish çılbır pairing; home cooks may use plain or garlic-seasoned yogurt.
The runny yolk and cool, creamy yogurt balance the sauce’s savoury, gently tangy flavour. In Turkey it is commonly enjoyed warm for breakfast or as a light meal, with bread for scooping; it also makes an easy brunch dish elsewhere. Eggs and yogurt contribute protein, while the oil makes the topping richer. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and serve with vegetables or a slice of whole-grain bread.
