Eggs with casur is a traditional dish of eggs cooked with casur, a locally gathered edible wild herb used in parts of eastern Turkey. Recipes vary by household, and the herb’s local name can refer to different plants in different areas.
To make eggs with casur, clean and chop the herb, soften it in a pan with a little oil, then add the eggs and cook until set. If the stems are tough, briefly blanch the casur and drain it before frying.
Casur gives eggs with casur a distinctive herbal, green flavor alongside the mild taste of egg. Its intensity varies with the plant and how mature it is; blanching the herb first can mellow a strong or bitter edge.
Not necessarily. Casur is a regional name for a wild edible herb, and names for wild plants can vary between communities. Don’t assume it is the same as culinary fennel; buy it from a reliable source or confirm its identity locally.
No, boiling is not always necessary when making eggs with casur. Tender leaves can be cooked directly in the pan, while tougher stems may benefit from a brief blanching to soften them and reduce their strong flavor.
Yes, dried casur can be used for eggs with casur. Rehydrate it in water until soft, then drain it well before adding it to the pan; if it was preserved with salt, taste before seasoning the dish.
Eggs with casur is associated with regional home cooking in eastern Turkey, where casur is gathered and used as a food herb. It is not one fixed national recipe, so ingredients and preparation differ from one family or locality to another.
Eggs with casur can be made with or without onion; onion is an optional addition rather than a defining ingredient. If using it, cook it until soft before adding the casur, so it has time to develop flavor.
Serve eggs with casur with crusty bread, plain yogurt, or a fresh tomato salad. Bread works particularly well for scooping up the soft eggs and herbs, while yogurt offers a cool contrast to the dish’s earthy flavor.
Refrigerate leftover eggs with casur promptly in a covered container and eat them within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout; freezing is possible, but the eggs may become watery or rubbery when thawed.

Eggs with casur is a regional Turkish dish made by cooking casur, a wild edible plant gathered in parts of eastern Turkey, with eggs. The greens are softened in a pan before the eggs are added, making a simple, home-style meal.
Casur brings an earthy, herb-like flavour and a tender texture, balanced by the mild, soft eggs. In Turkey it can be served warm at breakfast or as a quick meal with bread; elsewhere, it works well as a savoury brunch or light lunch. It is protein-rich and filling. Use a modest amount of oil and serve with salad or yoghurt for a lighter plate.
