Pan eggs with curd cheese are made by cooking eggs in a skillet and adding the curd near the end. Warm a little oil or butter, add the eggs, then fold in the curd once the whites begin to set.
No, curd cheese and cottage cheese are not always the same. Turkish lor is a mild, fresh cheese made from whey; cottage cheese is often wetter and has distinct curds, so drain it before using it in pan eggs.
Add the curd cheese after the egg whites have started to set. It only needs a short time in the pan to warm through, which helps keep the cheese soft instead of dry and grainy.
Drain wet curd cheese before adding it, and cook the eggs over moderate heat. Excess moisture from the cheese or overcooked eggs can leave liquid in the pan, so take the dish off the heat as soon as the eggs are done.
Black pepper, chilli flakes, and fresh herbs such as parsley pair well with pan eggs with curd cheese. Taste before adding salt, because the curd cheese may already be salty.
Yes, you can scramble the eggs for pan eggs with curd cheese. Stir the eggs gently over low to medium heat, then fold in the curd near the end so it warms without breaking down completely.
Yes, spinach works well in pan eggs with curd cheese. Cook fresh spinach first until wilted and excess moisture has evaporated, then add the eggs and fold in the curd as they begin to set.
Serve pan eggs with curd cheese hot, with toast or flatbread and fresh vegetables such as tomatoes or cucumbers. A simple side keeps the mild curd and eggs as the focus of the meal.
It is better to cook pan eggs with curd cheese just before serving. Making them ahead can leave the eggs firm and the cheese drier; if you have leftovers, refrigerate them in a covered container.
Yes, you can reheat pan eggs with curd cheese, although the eggs may become firmer. Warm leftovers gently in a covered pan over low heat, just until hot, rather than cooking them again.

Pan eggs with curd cheese is a simple Turkish home-style dish: eggs are cooked in a shallow pan or sahan with lor, a fresh, mild cheese made from whey. The cheese is soft and crumbly, with a gentle dairy flavour that complements rather than overwhelms the eggs. Some cooks stir it through as the eggs set; others scatter it over the top.
The result is tender, savoury and filling, often served hot for breakfast in Turkey with bread and tea. It also makes an easy light meal alongside tomatoes, peppers or a green salad. Naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrate, it suits a filling low-carb meal; for a lighter version, use just a little cooking oil and add fresh herbs or vegetables.
