Omelette with Curd Cheese is a Turkish-style omelette made by cooking eggs in a pan and folding in lor, a fresh, mild, crumbly Turkish curd cheese. The cheese softens as it warms, giving the centre a tender, slightly grainy texture without overpowering the eggs.
In Turkey it is commonly served hot at breakfast, often alongside tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and bread, with tea. It also makes a simple, filling meal at any time of day. This is a protein- and calcium-rich choice; use a little less cooking oil and add a handful of greens if you’d like a lighter plate.

To make an omelette with curd cheese, cook beaten eggs in a lightly greased pan until they are nearly set, then scatter the curd cheese over one half. Fold the omelette and cook briefly until the eggs are fully done.
No, curd cheese usually softens but does not melt into a smooth layer in an omelette with curd cheese. Its small curds stay visible, giving the filling a soft, slightly crumbly texture.
Drain the curd cheese well before using it in an omelette with curd cheese. If adding vegetables such as mushrooms or spinach, cook them first so their released liquid does not make the eggs soggy.
Yes, herbs work well in an omelette with curd cheese. Chives, parsley, dill, and black pepper complement its mild flavor; add delicate fresh herbs near the end so they keep their aroma.
Yes, you can leave an omelette with curd cheese open-faced instead of folding it. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs as they set, then cover the pan briefly so the top cooks without over-browning the bottom.
Spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, and spring onions all pair well with an omelette with curd cheese. Cook watery vegetables before adding the eggs, so the finished omelette stays tender rather than wet.
Yes, an omelette with curd cheese makes a practical breakfast because eggs and curd cheese provide protein and it cooks quickly. Add fruit or vegetables and toast to make it a more complete meal.
You can freeze an omelette with curd cheese, but its texture may become watery or rubbery after thawing. For the best texture, cook it fresh; if freezing, wrap it airtight and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
An omelette with curd cheese keeps for up to two days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Refrigerate leftovers rather than leaving them at room temperature.
Reheat an omelette with curd cheese gently in a covered pan over low heat until hot throughout. A microwave also works in short bursts, but high heat can toughen the eggs and dry out the curd cheese.
