Frequently Asked Questions About Kuymak with egg and curd cheese
What is kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
Kuymak with egg and curd cheese is a hot Turkish kuymak variation made with çökelek, egg and typically cornmeal and butter. It is cooked in a pan and served warm, often as a filling breakfast.
How do you make kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
To make kuymak with egg and curd cheese, cook cornmeal in melted butter, then gradually stir in water until it thickens. Add the çökelek and cook through; add the egg near the end, stirring it in or leaving it whole to set.
Where does kuymak with egg and curd cheese come from?
Kuymak with egg and curd cheese is a variation of kuymak, a traditional dish associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region. Recipes and names differ across the region; adding egg and çökelek gives this version its own texture and flavor.
How is kuymak with egg and curd cheese different from mıhlama?
Kuymak and mıhlama are often used for closely related Black Sea dishes, but the names and recipes vary by locality. Kuymak with egg and curd cheese specifically includes egg and çökelek, so it may differ from a version made with a melting regional cheese.
Why doesn’t kuymak with egg and curd cheese stretch?
Kuymak with egg and curd cheese may not stretch because çökelek is a curd cheese rather than the elastic, melting cheese used in stringy kuymak. Replacing some çökelek with a good-melting cheese can make it stretch more, but changes its character.
Can you use another cheese in kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
Yes, you can substitute lor for the çökelek in kuymak with egg and curd cheese; it has a similarly crumbly texture. A melting cheese such as a regional kuymak cheese gives a smoother, stretchier result rather than the original curd-cheese texture.
When should you add the egg to kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
Add the egg to kuymak with egg and curd cheese near the end, after the çökelek has been mixed in. Stir it through for an evenly eggy mixture, or crack it on top and cover the pan if you want the egg to set more intact.
Is kuymak with egg and curd cheese eaten for breakfast?
Yes, kuymak with egg and curd cheese is well suited to breakfast and is best served hot from the pan. In Turkey it can be shared at the table with bread, alongside simpler breakfast foods such as tomatoes and cucumbers.
What do you serve with kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
Serve kuymak with egg and curd cheese with crusty bread, pide or cornbread to scoop up the buttery mixture. Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and olives make useful accompaniments, balancing the rich, savory kuymak without competing with it.
Can you reheat kuymak with egg and curd cheese?
Yes, kuymak with egg and curd cheese can be reheated. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container once cool, then warm them gently in a pan; a small splash of water helps loosen the mixture. The egg and çökelek may be less tender than when freshly cooked.

Kuymak with egg and curd cheese is a hearty take on kuymak, the butter-and-cornmeal dish associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region. This version adds eggs and çökelek, a fresh, crumbly Turkish curd cheese, rather than relying only on the stretchy cheeses often used in kuymak.
