To make egg with zucchini and lor cheese, cook chopped or grated zucchini in a pan until tender, then add the eggs and lor and cook until set. It uses simple, minimally processed ingredients and works as breakfast or a main meal.
Yes, cook the zucchini before adding the eggs to egg with zucchini and lor cheese. Zucchini releases water as it softens, so cooking it first helps prevent a watery mixture and keeps the eggs from overcooking.
Egg with zucchini and lor cheese usually turns watery because the zucchini releases moisture into the pan. Cook the zucchini until that liquid evaporates before adding the eggs, and drain very moist lor cheese if needed.
Add the lor cheese to egg with zucchini and lor cheese after the zucchini has softened. Stir it in with the eggs near the end of cooking so the fresh curd cheese stays soft rather than breaking down excessively.
Feta or another crumbly fresh cheese can replace lor in egg with zucchini and lor cheese. Feta is saltier and stronger in flavor, so taste before adding extra salt; cottage cheese can also work, though it may add moisture.
Yes, frozen zucchini can be used for egg with zucchini and lor cheese. Thaw it and squeeze out excess liquid first, then cook it in the pan until no more water pools before adding the eggs and lor.
Yes, egg with zucchini and lor cheese makes a practical breakfast because it combines eggs and fresh curd cheese with vegetables. Serve it hot with toast or fruit, or add herbs for extra flavor.
Yes, you can cook egg with zucchini and lor cheese ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container. Reheat it until steaming hot, preferably in a pan over low heat to keep the eggs from turning rubbery.
Egg with zucchini and lor cheese pairs well with toast, a tomato-and-cucumber salad, or leafy greens. For a fuller meal, serve it with roasted vegetables or potatoes rather than adding more cheese to the dish.
Yes, egg with zucchini and lor cheese can be baked in an oven-safe dish. Cook or drain the zucchini first to remove excess moisture, combine it with the eggs and lor, and bake until the eggs are fully set.

Egg with zucchini and lor cheese is a simple Turkish-style skillet dish made with eggs, tender zucchini and lor, a mild, fresh Turkish curd cheese. The zucchini is cooked until soft, then combined with the eggs and cheese, either gently scrambled or left to set like a soft omelette.
In Turkey, it’s a natural fit for breakfast, often served with bread and fresh tomatoes or cucumber; elsewhere, it works just as well for brunch or a quick light meal. Zucchini keeps the dish tender and mild, while lor adds a creamy, slightly tangy note. It offers protein and calcium with relatively few carbohydrates; a serving of vegetables and a little fresh dill make a good pairing. Use modest oil for a lighter panful.
