Eggs with curd cheese cooked in butter is a simple home-style dish: crumbled curd cheese is warmed in butter, then cooked with eggs until soft or lightly set. The cheese brings a mild tang and a crumbly texture, while the eggs make the mixture tender and rich. It is especially familiar as a Turkish-style breakfast, though the ingredients are easy to find in many places.
Serve it hot with bread, fresh tomatoes or herbs; in Turkey it often sits alongside tea and other breakfast dishes. It is a protein-rich choice, with 12.4 g of protein per 100 g, but the butter also makes it quite rich. Use a little less butter and add vegetables if you prefer a lighter plate.
