Eggs with vine greens is a seasonal dish associated with the Aegean region of Turkey. It is made by cooking tender shoots of edible wild vines until soft, then adding eggs, either left to set over the greens or gently stirred through them.
The greens bring a pleasantly earthy, slightly bitter flavour, balanced by the mild richness of the eggs. In Turkey it is commonly enjoyed warm as a simple lunch or supper, often with bread and yoghurt; readers elsewhere can serve it as a light main or a savoury brunch. It gets protein from the eggs, while the greens add fibre and bulk. For a lighter plate, use a little less oil and plenty of greens.
