Cook the curd cheese briefly in a little hot oil, then add beaten eggs and stir over low to medium heat until just set. This Turkish-style dish uses mild lor, a fresh curd cheese; cooking it gently helps keep the eggs tender.
Yes, cottage cheese can stand in, but it is usually wetter and lumpier than Turkish lor. Drain it first and expect a softer, less crumbly result; ricotta is another possible substitute, though its flavor and texture are different.
The dish usually turns watery because the curd cheese contains excess moisture or the pan is crowded. Drain wet curds before cooking, use a wide pan, and cook the eggs gently; very high heat can make the cheese release liquid.
Add the curd cheese to the warm oil shortly before the eggs, just long enough to heat it through. If the curds are especially dry, you can add them with the beaten eggs instead; prolonged frying can make the cheese tough.
Olive oil or a small amount of butter both work well for eggs with curd cheese cooked in oil. Olive oil gives a clean, savory flavor, while butter makes the dish richer; heat either gently rather than letting it smoke.
Eggs with curd cheese cooked in oil feature lor cheese, while menemen is a Turkish egg dish cooked with tomatoes and often peppers. The lor version is creamier and cheese-forward; menemen is usually more vegetable-rich and juicy.
Parsley and dill are particularly good with eggs with curd cheese cooked in oil, and black pepper or a little red pepper adds warmth. Stir fresh herbs in after cooking so their flavor stays bright rather than disappearing in the pan.
Use just enough oil to coat the pan, and choose a nonstick skillet so the eggs do not stick. Lor is naturally moist, so you do not need to submerge it in oil; serve the dish promptly instead of adding extra oil at the end.
Serve eggs with curd cheese cooked in oil with crusty bread, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, or olives. A simple green salad also balances the rich, savory dish. If the curd cheese is salty, choose sides with little or no added salt.
Yes, refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and reheat them thoroughly the next day. Warm them gently in a covered pan or microwave; eggs can turn rubbery if reheated for too long, so stop as soon as they are hot.

Eggs with curd cheese cooked in oil is a simple Turkish home-style dish: eggs are cooked in a pan with lor, a fresh, mild cheese commonly used in Turkey. The cheese may be stirred through the eggs or added as they cook, giving the dish a soft, curdy texture.
It is usually served hot, often at breakfast with bread, olives or fresh vegetables; it also makes a quick light meal at any time of day. The mild cheese balances the rich egg and oil, while the texture can be soft or more set depending on how long you cook it. It provides substantial protein, and you can keep it lighter by using less oil and serving it with tomatoes, cucumber or greens.
