Nigella's dreamy Turkish Poached Eggs - BBC 

It is 3 am i am in the middle of exam period and i am watching some british woman from BBC making çılbır

This video should be renamed to "How to fill a sink with dishes while making one egg". Used: 1 spatula, 5 bowls, 1 grater, 3 pans, 1 butter knife, 1 small plate, 1 wooden spoon, 1 pan lid, 1 strainer, 1 lemon juicer, 1 cutting board, 1 mincing knife, 1 slotted spoon, and something to eat it with (not shown)

Guys, for real though, this dish made my day back when I was studying abroad and feeling down (one of those horrible days, y'know). Groceries were kinda expensive, I was on a budget and I had my allowance stretched for that month because I had to buy some books required for class. I was hungry and obviously take out was out of the question. Randomly googled recipes with the remaining ingredients I had, which coincidentally were enough to make this recipe. Tried it out and I swear I would have cried if I weren't so happy that I actually could eat something so simple, delicious, and warm.

I ate this for breakfast today. Not only did it taste amazing, it’s high in calories and fat - it kept me full all morning and super focused during work. Seriously a good breakfast for a hard day’s work

So we're all going to just ignore that awesome see through toaster...

I absolutely love that there isn't any music in the background.

As a South Indian, I never thought I would love the taste of egg in yogurt. But this is just next level. I tried and I've become addicted to this 😍😍😍😍😍😍

She made it just as it has to be made. Well done. Greetings from Turkey.

Her kitchen looks like my kitchen died and went to heaven. What kind of stainless steel tropical paradise does she live in?

The Turkish name of this recipe is "çılbır" and we usually prefer that as lunch or dinner, rather than breakfast. Because, you know, it could be hard to eat that garlic yogurt and getting into a bus. =)

When Nigella cooks, everything’s awesome. Her kitchen, her cutlery and crockery and the ambience all perfect. And the most important is her approach towards food : very holistic !

By far the most eloquent online/TV chef there is. No 'take it to the next level' nonsense. She just gets on with it and makes the food she's making look marvellous.

Lmao who else was expecting her to take a tiny elegant bite at the end 😂 She just went CRUNCH at it lol.

My turkish neighbour would make this for me all the time! One of my favorites. She moved back to turkey last year. Oh how I miss her.

I just made one this morning, and have been planning to make one for years. Made me cry a bit, coz it's been quite depressing to be in my situation. It's an awesome way to start the day. Best breakfast indeed.

I made cilbir today after _weeks_ of thinking about this video... It was _heavenly._ Thank you!

When she said “ahh so peaceful” while chopping up dill with a medieval clever...I thought she was talking about the heads of her enemies not the still hot water where a beautiful egg was poaching. I will be calling my therapist tomorrow morning. 😅😅

When she said: "Make the egg go Swhoop", I felt that.

It's called "cilbir" , "chilbir" in Turkish and I have to agree w/ previous comments, it really is turkish yoghurt guys, the word itself has turkish roots, it's a derivation of the verb "yogurmak" as in "to knead, kneading" as someone stated below.

I cannot express just how life altering this breakfast was. And this was my first time successfully poaching eggs!!!! I feel I need to organize a brunch and cook this for my friends.

Is no one else going to mention that this video is one of the most calming and beautiful (cinematically) cooking videos EVER....? It almost feels fake lol

When she said, "And this is just the best breakfast in all the world," by God, I believe her.

I am constantly coming back to this video even though I've already memorized the recipe by now! It's literally the most sensual and alluring cooking video. Ever.

She seems like a wonderful person.

57 people were jealous of how perfect the timing was of her toast popping up.

British accent makes everything sound so polite and gentle...

The turkish people are brilliant to have come up with this!- This is indeed the best breakfast in the world!!!!

Why is this woman so beautiful and elegant? Also in a way that does not really make me terrible about myself! She speaks so nicely! Such a wholesome personality!

The way she bit that toast and looked at the camera 😍😍

I'm absolutely convinced that these Turkish Poached Eggs are really a dream, but I had to watch the video three times to see something other than Nigella.

shes like writing a poem as she cooks- i love the love for her art

I've just made this again and as expected it didn't disappoint 😋Thank you Nigella ❤ and Thank you Turkey 🇹🇷

"I guess Turkish room temperature" *puts the yogurt on the oven* What do you think turkey is in the middle of sahara desert?!?

I like her technique in poaching eggs....and the use of lemon jus instead of vinegar. Tricky!

This recipe changes my life. Truly is the best breakfast in the world!

Happy Mother's Day Nigella...

I just find her so natural. She loves food and makes no bones about it. Anyone can fall in love with food just by watching her ease around the kitchen.

My God this women. She is just mesmerising. Can't even blink. So gorgeous. So regal.

Just rustled up two chulburr (pronounced) poached eggs and used birds-eye chilli flakes and paprika as a suggested replacement. Toasted up some sourdough bread with nutty seeds. A delightful dip into the heavenly mix of egg, oils and yogurt and wow, that hits the spot nicely. Nice touch with the lemon and strained egg. Nigella is the goddess of culinary delights for sure.

I am in love with this woman. I have watched her since I was in fourth grade. I remember during our winter vacation me and my sister would watch all her Christmas recipes on TV.

I really expected a timid bite at the end, but that was savage😄

I’m Turkish and I loved everything about this video. Thank you for the recipe.

Right, I guess I’m making this for breakfast now Update (for no one in particular): I made this a couple times now and it came out so well! It’s really filling and light. Goes amazing with some crunchy seeded bread.

My condolences Nigella and family

I just made this. I had my doubts considering, yogurt and eggs. But, omg I was missing out my entire life. I used the Greek yogurt, I understand it’s not the required one. But since I track my protein intake, I need a decent protein bomb in the morning. This an AMAZING meal.

Idk why but I love how she just goes straight for the bite at the end, not even caring she got a bit of yolk on the side of her mouth. What an amazing confident lady :)

I am from Turkey and hearing this for the first time

Nice to see Çılbır as a BBC recipe. I find the tips quite to the point, but my preference of a Sunday morning Çılbır is somewhat different: - I use 2 to 3 eggs and keep them a bit longer in the water. The yolk needs to be a bit less fluid - it should not completely spill into the mixture. Think of a very, very ripe peach: That is the expected form. - I prefer to follow the "İskender" approach, which involves cutting the toasted bread slices into small pieces (like croutons) and using this as a bedding for the yogurt. If you have Pide, that would be a better choice than toasted bread, of course - speaking of "İskender"! - Fresh dill is not a bad idea at all, but I prefer the following mixture: A teaspoon of Nana mint (also the popular choice in Turkey), a teaspoon of dried stinging nettle seeds (for the grassy smell, alternatives would be dried and ground dandelion or ribwort plantain leaves), a tad bit of oregano and a tad bit of cumin. - Every once in a while, depending on my mood, I roast three teaspoons of sesame additionally for the mixture. More often in winter than in summer. - I could never use that much butter for the chili sauce, but that is my gastritis talking, so nevermind. ^^ - Finally, I drink a cup of fennel-lemon tea along with it. Works like a charm in balancing the stomach and helping digestion. There talks my gastritis again. ^^

I don't understand why people say she sounds so " seductive " and she talks " dirty "? I mean really? If you watch Nigella long enough you would know that she loves to rhyme and this is how she usually talks.

I love how her reaction and expressiveness is so earnest and pure , just like her.

Nigella is the real deal, she's enchanting, engaging, timelessly elegant...

I just had a foodgasm when the yellow part of the egg exploded. That looks divinely delicious

This recipe is one of the many ways we eat our eggs in Turkey. This dish is called çılbır (read as chil-birr). If there is one recipe that deserves to be called Turkish eggs, it is menemen. It far more common in our kitchens than çılbır. It would be awesome to watch Nigella's take on that too.

Made it today, what a revelation! I was unsure about yoghurt with eggs but it is delicious. Thanks.

I saw her make this about 10 years ago and it's one of my favourite breakfast. Goes really well with a cup of coffee.

Okay I tried this recipe last night and it truly is, amazing! Nigella wasn't exaggerating when she said it's both a revelation and a sensation. ♥

Holy, madame, this was the cleanest best explanation of how to make poached egg ever, and that recipe looks perfect, following for sure!

Wow never have I ever imagined that I would one day see Nigella cook "Çılbır", this feels like a parallel universe video 😊✨ I'm sure she created wonders. Happy you enjoyed it, poached eggs on yogurt is one of my favorite meals ❤️

I just tried it and it was really good. 10/10 doing it again.

The banma action at the end is priceless

We Turkish people call this "çılbır". So glad to see Nigella to find a Turkish recipe is known by very little also simple but delicious. It was one of my favorite "mom's recipe" as a child. Usually she would fix us for lunch.

We have a little different one in Azerbaijan. You prepare yogurt with garlic in the same way and you add cooked egg in butter on top.

Nothing like a British accent, an impeccable melody ❤️❤️❤️

She has that chill vibe, ya she cooks wonderfully, but i can stay in the corner all the time just looking at her cooking. Mesmerized.

"A clove of garlic, minced in." Proceeds to grate garlic.

Turkish food is soo delicious 🤤 The most tasteful cuisine of the world ❣️🇹🇷

I always had a crush on Nigella

I love her smile

I love her passion while cooking , her ideas , her beautiful face , soul and smile

Why does everything have to be perfect: the food, her looks & her English ?

I found her very appealing. Her descriptions are spot on and her clarity and confidence is the highlight of her show.

I love that the video does mot have any music until the end. Feels really peaceful. I cannot stop watching this video i love it so.much and then I make the delicious recipe.

I love to watch nigella's cooking. I find some sort of soulful feel to her cooking.

I wish I could eat as much as she does and still look good.

this video is living in my head RENT FREE

She has such a great aura, so nice watching her cook!

The flavors of this dish are sensational! I was a little skeptical at first eating yogurt with eggs, but this is my favorite way to eat eggs now! Definitely a must try!

😍😍😍😍 Nigella never ceases to amaze me. Her recipes are sooooo delicious... She just gets more beautiful with age... And that voice....

such an elegant dish, looks absolutely delectable. She is also just so beautiful and pleasant to watch.

Till today no one can ever ...ever replace her in BBC cooking, she the best and only one who cooks like a Goddess 🥰 I have all her books just ordered her new cookbook recently

I just made this and it has changed my life! absolutely amazing recipe, 100% recommend!

This lady is unbelievably cute 🥰

I tried this recipe today and it was amazing! loved how yogurt's softness merges with the egg yolk. Bread was the best part. Thank you!

Whenever I see nigella I always picture Phil having the time of his life

Just to say, a similar recipe for eggs with white brine cheese and youghurt exists in Bulgaria, called "eggs from Panagyurishte" (yes, I agree, harder to pronounce than Turkish eggs). Serves to show that this cuisine exists throughout the Balkans. :)

why the heck did her ex-husband cheat on this woman? You lost son

I must've watched thus a million times and haven't made it yet

I m Indian🙂. Tried this receipe. Something different for this Indian. Was yummy. Thank you madame👍

Came to learn how to cook a Turkish egg. Got seduced.

This is the first video I ever watched of her and she seemed amazing. Her way of talking was in my opinion very entertaining, didn't find it seductive at all. I was surprised to see that the top comment said that people say she talks that way. Nigella was definitely convincing enough to make me want to actually prepare this dish, which rarely happens with the first recipe I watch from the presenter :) Will definitely give this dish a try.

"anything with yogurt is perfect" a yörük guy from turkey...

I made this for a lady and all I want to say is THANK YOU.

Made this dish today. Wow, it was delicious. Looked good, and the taste matched the good looks! Thanks BBC and Nigella

As a turkish, your recipe is one of the best! I' ll try it.

The yolk colour is fabulous.

Can’t express my admiration to this high professional model! She is genuinely contributing to food health

Love her! She has to be the best cook on TV and I bet a supper cool person to know

That looks like an amazing dish! Love Nigella, glad she is back!

Damn Nigella is EVERYTHING

Her videos are really peaceful
