How To Make Turkuaz Kitchen Turkish Eggs

1. Preparing the Homemade Yogurt: Heat the milk to 185°F-200°F by stirring frequently in a large bowl. Don’t leave the milk unattended, as it can rise and overflow quickly. Remove the milk from the heat and let it cool to 110°F-120°F. Once the temperature is 110°F-120°F, pour the milk into clean jars. Add the room-temperature yogurt, sugar, and salt, and mix together with a spoon. Close the lids and place the jars in the oven or microwave. Cover them with kitchen towels or a clean bath towel to keep warm, with the power off and the door shut. Let them stay until thickened for 12-16 hours. After removing the jars from the oven or microwave, refrigerate them for at least overnight.
2. Preparing the Poached Egg: Crack an egg into a small bowl. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, add vinegar, and stir. Using a fork, stir the water to create a vortex and pour the egg into the center of the vortex. Cook for 3-3 1/2 minutes. Scoop the egg out and place it on a plate.
3. Preparing the Turkish Egg: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt and sour cream together. Add the minced garlic and salt and stir, then set aside. In a pan, heat the butter until it bubbles, then add the red pepper flakes.
4. To Serve: Take the yogurt mixture and place it on a serving plate. Top it with the poached eggs and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the heated butter and serve immediately with crispy bread.
