Lor peynirli yumurta kavurması is a Turkish home-style skillet dish of eggs cooked with lor, a mild, crumbly whey cheese, and a little oil. The cheese has a gentle milky flavour, and the cooked mixture is soft with a lightly curdy texture. Black pepper, chilli flakes or herbs can be added to taste.
In Turkey it is often served hot for breakfast, with bread and tea, though it also makes a quick light meal. It is protein-rich, with 15.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use only a little oil and serve it with tomatoes, cucumber or leafy greens.
