Cilbir (Eggs with yogurt)


6 eggs
½ kg yogurt
3 large garlic cloves
4 Tbs fresh butter
1 tsp red pepper, coarsely ground
2 middle-sized onions cut horizontally
plenty water

Boil water in a fairly big pot. Break one by one the eggs and pour them in a plate, being careful not to break the yolk. To ensure a homogenous cooking, let them “glide” from the plate into the boiling water. Within three minutes the eggs are ready but if you prefer hard-boiled, allow them to cook for another minute or so.
Meanwhile brown the butter in a skillet and add the garlic and onion. In the last possible moment add the coarsely ground red pepper and turn off the fire. Remove the eggs from the pot using a skimmer and place them in a deep plate.
Cover the eggs with plenty of yogurt and pour the hot butter over them. Serve immediately.
