Frequently Asked Questions About Eggs with strained curd cheese
How do you make eggs with strained curd cheese?

What is Eggs with strained curd cheese?
Eggs with strained curd cheese is a simple Turkish home-style dish, made by cooking eggs in a pan with çökelek, a fresh curd cheese drained until fairly firm. The cheese varies by region and maker, and straining gives it a denser, slightly crumbly texture.
The eggs stay soft while the curd adds a gentle tang and milky richness. In Turkey, it is often served warm at breakfast with bread, fresh tomatoes or greens, and tea.
