What is Eggs with Keş cheese?
Eggs with Keş cheese is a Turkish dish of eggs cooked in a pan with grated or crumbled keş, a firm, salted cheese made by drying strained yoghurt. Keş is especially associated with regional home cooking, and its texture and saltiness can vary from one variety to another.
The eggs turn soft and rich, while the cheese brings a tangy, savoury bite rather than melting into a smooth sauce. In Turkey, it is commonly served hot for breakfast with bread and tea; chilli flakes or herbs make simple additions. It is a protein-rich dish with very little carbohydrate. Since keş can be quite salty, taste before adding salt, and use a modest amount of cooking fat if you prefer a lighter plate.
