Cook crumbled curd cheese with chopped herbs in a lightly oiled pan, then add beaten eggs and stir gently until just set. Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still slightly soft so they do not turn dry.
Parsley, dill and spring onion are reliable choices for eggs with herbed curd cheese; mint or chives also work. Use herbs that are washed and thoroughly dried, since extra water can make the curds watery in the pan.
This dish uses lor, a fresh Turkish curd cheese that is usually mild and crumbly. It is not necessarily the same as cottage cheese or ricotta, so choose a fresh, fairly dry curd cheese if lor is unavailable.
Drain wet curd cheese well and pat the herbs dry before making eggs with herbed curd cheese. Cook in a wide pan over moderate heat rather than crowding a small pan, which traps steam and releases moisture into the eggs.
Serve eggs with herbed curd cheese hot with crusty bread, sliced tomatoes or a simple green salad. The mild, savoury mixture also fits a brunch spread; taste it before adding salt because some curd cheeses are already salty.
Yes, warm the curd cheese and herbs briefly before adding the eggs. This helps the mixture heat evenly, while adding the eggs last gives you more control over their texture and keeps them from overcooking as the cheese warms.
Eggs with herbed curd cheese are closer to a soft scrambled egg mixture than a classic folded omelette. The curd cheese is mixed through the eggs, so the finished dish is usually spooned onto a plate rather than folded around a filling.
You can chop the herbs and portion the curd cheese ahead, but eggs with herbed curd cheese are best cooked just before serving. Making the complete dish early can leave the eggs firm and the cheese watery after chilling and reheating.
Store leftover eggs with herbed curd cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within three days. Cool the dish promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
You can freeze eggs with herbed curd cheese, but the texture may suffer: the curd cheese can release water and the cooked eggs can become rubbery. If you do freeze it, seal it well and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating gently.

Eggs with herbed curd cheese brings eggs together with fresh lor, a mild Turkish curd cheese, and herbs. It is an easy home-style dish rather than a fixed recipe, so the herbs and proportions can vary. The eggs set softly around the curds, giving the dish a tender, lightly grainy texture and a fresh, savoury taste.
In Turkey, it is often served warm at breakfast with bread and tea, though it also makes a quick light meal. The eggs and curd cheese make it a protein-rich choice with relatively little carbohydrate. Pair it with tomatoes, cucumber or a green salad; use a modest amount of cooking fat if you’d like to keep the plate lighter.
