Scrambled eggs with lor cheese are made by gently cooking beaten eggs in a lightly greased pan, then stirring in the lor as the eggs begin to set. Take the pan off the heat while the eggs are still slightly soft; residual heat finishes cooking them.
Lor is a mild, fresh Turkish cheese traditionally made from whey, with a soft, crumbly texture. In scrambled eggs with lor cheese, it adds a gentle dairy flavor without the strong saltiness or stretch of many aged or melting cheeses.
No, lor cheese usually does not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer in scrambled eggs with lor cheese. It softens and breaks into creamy or crumbly pieces, so stir it in near the end rather than expecting it to behave like cheddar.
To keep scrambled eggs with lor cheese from getting watery, drain very moist lor before adding it and cook over low to medium heat. Avoid covering the pan, which traps steam, and remove the eggs while they are just set.
Scrambled eggs with lor cheese center on eggs and lor, while menemen is typically cooked with tomatoes and peppers. You can add vegetables to the lor dish, but they are not essential to it as they are to a classic menemen.
Black pepper, chili flakes, and fresh parsley work well in scrambled eggs with lor cheese. Taste the lor before adding salt, since its saltiness varies; a little dried mint or oregano can also complement the mild cheese.
Serve scrambled eggs with lor cheese with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, or fresh herbs for a Turkish-style breakfast. Toast or flatbread makes it a more substantial meal, while a simple salad is a lighter accompaniment.
Scrambled eggs with lor cheese are best cooked just before serving because reheating can make the eggs firm and dry. You can prepare the ingredients ahead by draining the lor and chopping herbs, then cook the eggs fresh.
Scrambled eggs with lor cheese keep for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill them promptly after cooking, and reheat until steaming hot; discard them if they have been left at room temperature for over 2 hours.
Freezing is possible, but it is not ideal for scrambled eggs with lor cheese: thawed eggs can turn rubbery and the lor may become grainy or release moisture. For the best texture, make only what you plan to eat fresh.

The eggs may be stirred into soft curds or cooked a little firmer, depending on preference. It is usually served hot for breakfast, alongside tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and bread, with tea; it also works well as a quick brunch in other settings.
The dish is protein-rich and low in carbohydrates. For a lighter version, use only a little cooking fat and add fresh herbs such as parsley or dill.
