Poached Eggs with Baked Feta and Olives

Rate & Review

(157 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Defne Koryürek created this recipe, a.k.a. Eggs alla Kortun, when she and her husband, Vasif Kortun, were living in New York City in the ’90s. He loved the combination of toasted bread, poached eggs, sizzling feta and olives, so she decided to name the dish after him. When they returned to Istanbul, Koryürek opened a café, Refika; this was one of the first things she put on the menu. She says, “To our delight, it sold like crazy!”

Pairing Suggestion

Eggs can be difficult to pair with wine, but feta, olives and bread make this dish much more wine-friendly. Pair it with a fruity Mediterranean rosé (a good wine for eggs in general), such as the 2006 Librandi Cirò Rosato from Italy or the perky 2006 Gaia Estate 14–18h Rosé from Greece.

Mmmmmmmm .... this is so good. It easily makes for a quick, tasty, and nutritous lunch. I just any kind of hard rolls that I find with this recipes. Excellent flavors and easy to prepare!

I think this is a delicious simple supper or weekend breakfast component.  I'll make this again and maybe add some wilted spinach
