Eggs with keş is a Turkish dish of eggs cooked with keş, a firm, dried yogurt product, often with butter. The keş softens as it warms and gives the eggs a savory, tangy flavor.
To make Eggs with keş, grate the keş and warm it gently in butter, then add the eggs and cook them to your preferred doneness. Taste before salting, since keş can already be salty.
In Eggs with keş, the keş tastes tangy, salty, and concentrated, rather than mild and creamy like fresh yogurt. Heating it with butter softens its texture and spreads that distinctive flavor through the eggs.
Eggs with keş are associated with Turkish home cooking, particularly the Bolu and western Black Sea region, where keş is a traditional ingredient. Recipes vary between households, so the balance of eggs, butter, and keş is not fixed.
Keş is a dairy product, but it is not simply a fresh cheese: it is typically made by salting and drying strained yogurt. That process gives Eggs with keş a firmer texture and more concentrated, tangy taste.
Serve Eggs with keş hot with bread, which works well for scooping up the buttery eggs. Fresh tomatoes and cucumber make simple accompaniments and balance the dish’s rich, salty flavor.
You can use crumbled feta in place of keş, but the result will not taste quite the same. Feta is generally moist and briny, while dried keş is firmer and has a concentrated tang from strained yogurt.
Eggs with keş are best cooked just before serving because reheated eggs can turn firm and the butter may feel greasy. You can grate the keş ahead of time, then warm it and cook the eggs when ready to eat.
Usually, wait before adding salt to Eggs with keş. Keş can be quite salty, so cook the eggs first, taste the finished dish, and season only if it needs it.
Yes, Eggs with keş can be served for breakfast, especially as a hot dish with bread and fresh vegetables. Its strong, savory flavor also makes it suitable for a simple lunch or light supper.

Eggs with keş brings eggs together with keş, a traditional Turkish dried, salted yoghurt product often grated or crumbled into the pan. The dish is especially associated with home cooking in parts of western Black Sea Turkey, where keş is made by straining yoghurt and drying it. Its flavour is savoury, tangy and distinctly salty, while the eggs stay soft against the crumbly, melting keş; butter is a common cooking fat. In Turkey it is typically served hot for breakfast with bread and tea. It also makes a filling brunch beyond Turkey, especially with tomatoes or greens on the side. It is a protein-rich choice, and the keş provides plenty of seasoning, so taste before adding salt.
