Eggs with ciris is a traditional dish of eggs cooked with ciris, a wild spring herb also known as çiriş. The chopped greens are usually sautéed first, then combined with beaten eggs or topped with eggs cooked in the pan.
To make eggs with ciris, wash and chop the herb, then sauté it until tender. Add beaten eggs and stir until set, or crack whole eggs over the greens and cook until the whites are done. Onion is an optional addition.
No. The ciris used in eggs with ciris is a wild spring plant, commonly identified as Eremurus spectabilis; it is not the familiar cultivated leek. Its flavor and texture are different, so substituting leek changes the character of the dish.
Eggs with ciris is associated especially with eastern Anatolian cooking, where the wild herb grows and is gathered in spring. It is a home-style seasonal dish, so the exact recipe and whether it includes onion vary between households.
Ciris is generally gathered in spring, which is when eggs with ciris is most often made with fresh greens. The harvest period varies by location and weather; look for firm, fresh-looking leaves rather than wilted or yellow ones.
Trim away the roots and any tough parts, then rinse the ciris thoroughly several times to remove grit from between the leaves. Drain and chop it before cooking; excess water can make the greens steam rather than sauté.
Yes, eggs with ciris can be made without onions; the herb and eggs are enough for the basic dish. If you do use onion, cook it until soft before adding the ciris so it does not stay raw or overpower the greens.
For eggs with ciris that are not watery, drain the washed herb well and sauté it until most of its moisture has evaporated before adding the eggs. Avoid covering the pan for too long, since trapped steam can add moisture back.
Yes, you can freeze cleaned, chopped ciris for later use in eggs with ciris. Blanching it briefly and draining it well before freezing helps preserve its color; thawed greens may be softer, so cook off their liquid in the pan.
Serve eggs with ciris with crusty bread, plain yogurt, or a simple salad. These pairings complement the savory greens without masking them; the dish also works as a spring brunch or a light meal with bread on the side.

Eggs with ciris brings together eggs and çiriş, a springtime wild herb used in parts of eastern and southeastern Turkey. The greens are cleaned and cooked until tender before eggs are added, making a straightforward dish rooted in regional home cooking.
Ciris has a gentle, green, herbaceous flavour; once cooked, it softens and blends well with the richness of the eggs. In Turkey it is often served warm with bread as a seasonal breakfast or simple meal. It provides 8.1 g of protein per 100 g, with the eggs contributing much of its staying power. Pair it with fresh salad or yoghurt, or use a lighter hand with the cooking oil if you want a less rich plate.
