To make eggs with curd cheese and greens, wilt the greens in a pan first, then stir in the curd cheese. Add beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring until just set. Low heat helps keep the eggs soft rather than dry.
Curd cheese in eggs with curd cheese and greens is a mild, fresh cheese made from separated milk curds. Turkish lor is typically soft and crumbly; it is not necessarily the same as ricotta or cottage cheese, so texture can vary.
Spinach, parsley, dill, spring onions, and chard all work well in eggs with curd cheese and greens. Wilt spinach or chard before adding the eggs, while delicate herbs such as dill and parsley keep more flavor when stirred in near the end.
Eggs with curd cheese and greens can be cooked either way, but they are often softly scrambled. Stirring the eggs as they set distributes the curd cheese and greens; leaving the mixture undisturbed makes a more omelet-like dish.
Dry the greens thoroughly before cooking eggs with curd cheese and greens, and let excess moisture evaporate in the pan. If the curd cheese is wet, drain it first; add the eggs only after the greens have softened and the pan is no longer watery.
Serve eggs with curd cheese and greens with toast or flatbread, or pair them with fresh tomato and cucumber for a lighter plate. A simple salad also works; the dish is rich and savory enough that it does not need a heavy side.
Yes, cottage cheese can replace curd cheese in eggs with curd cheese and greens, though the result may be wetter and less crumbly. Drain it first, and taste before adding salt because cottage cheese can vary in saltiness.
Yes, you can bake eggs with curd cheese and greens in an oven-safe dish. Wilt any watery greens first, combine them with the curd cheese and eggs, then bake until the center is just set; overbaking can make the eggs rubbery.
Cooked eggs with curd cheese and greens keep for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill leftovers promptly, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat so the eggs do not become dry from repeated heating.
You can wash and chop the greens ahead, but eggs with curd cheese and greens are best cooked just before serving. Store the prepared greens covered in the refrigerator, then add the curd cheese and eggs during cooking for a fresher texture.

Eggs with curd cheese and greens is a simple Turkish home-style dish made by cooking eggs with lor, a fresh, mild curd cheese, and herbs or leafy greens such as parsley, dill or spinach. Depending on how it is cooked, it may be closer to a soft scramble or an omelette, and the greens can vary with what is available.
The eggs turn tender, while the curd cheese adds a light, creamy texture and the greens bring freshness. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast, with bread and tea, but it also works as a quick lunch or brunch elsewhere. It is a protein-rich choice; use a little less cooking oil and add extra greens for a lighter plate.
