Made with plenty of olive oil and a thick, salted yogurt called tuzlu, this creamy-rich egg dish traditionally is served as part of a Turkish breakfast spread. The mixture is seasoned with fruity, mildly hot Aleppo pepper and paired with morning meze staples—think sesame bread, salty cheese, olives and fresh vegetables. To ensure the eggs are as velvety as possible, beat them well with the yogurt, taking care to incorporate any streaks. The recipe can easily be halved and cooked in a 10-inch nonstick skillet.

Don’t use regular yogurt for this recipe. It requires thick Greek yogurt, otherwise the mixture will curdle.

Nice change of pace
Really enjoyed this twist on traditional scrambled eggs. Didn't add anything. Not heavy. Great with some warm flatbread.

Tangy and delicious
I halved the recipe for one.The yogurt adds a tangy flavor. I added a little zatar, sumac and feta, in addition to the allepo as garnish and it was so flavorful.

Not for us... strange texture, off-putting tang
We used Strauss organic whole milk Greek yogurt - a premium Northern California dairy with really lovely products. Backyard eggs. Olive Oil from Costco (said to be the best Olive Oil in the USA) and organic butter. The eggs ended up looking much like the picture - but it didn't work for our palettes. The taste of the fermented dairy was wrong. We did like the Aleppo Pepper a great deal. Our hearts go out to the people of Antakya, the city the author of the article visited to research this recipe. Antakya was largely destroyed in the earthquake.
