Eggs with çiriş herb is a seasonal skillet from eastern Turkey, made by cooking the young shoots of çiriş—an edible wild plant—with eggs. The cleaned, chopped greens are softened in a pan before the eggs are stirred in or cooked on top.
The herb has a gently oniony, green flavour and becomes tender when cooked. It is usually served hot as a simple breakfast or light meal in Turkey, often with bread or yoghurt. Eggs provide protein, while the greens contribute some fibre; use a modest amount of oil and plenty of çiriş for a lighter pan.
