    This is a traditional Turkish dish called Çilbir and is great for brunch. This was so delicious that I made myself another plate as soon as this was finished. Everyone loves a poached egg, and the combination with the yoghurt made them even more delicious. The chili oil is hot of course but it is tamed by the yoghurt and you can taste its flavor without being overwhelmed by the heat. Lastly, the herbs and lemon zest make everything pop. It's wonderful!
