We teamed up with Harvey's Breakfast Club to bring you a delicious Turkish inspired addition to their pop up menu. Harvey's Breakfast Club created their take on the trendy Turkish eggs dish (Çilbir) — but put inside a crispy bagel for those on the go! This sensational sandwich includes a creamy garlic and dill yogurt spread, a smashed lamb kofte patty, a fried egg, and homemade chilli oil.
Ingredients
For the garlic & dill labneh:
-
200g labneh or Greek yogurt
-
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
-
Small handful of fresh dill (about 10g), finely chopped
-
Pinch of salt
For the chili oil:
-
4 tbsp Aleppo chili flakes (pul biber)
-
8 tbsp neutral oil (like sunflower or light olive oil)
For the lamb patties:
-
400g ground lamb
-
3 tbsp Kebab Club Kofte Rub
To serve:
-
4 sesame bagels
-
4 eggs
-
Extra dill or chili flakes to garnish (optional)
Cooking Instructions
-
Make the labneh spread
In a bowl, mix together the labneh or yogurt, garlic, dill, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust to your liking. -
Make the chili oil
Place the Aleppo chili flakes in a heatproof bowl or jar. Heat the oil in a small pan until just shimmering (not smoking), then pour it over the flakes. It should sizzle gently. Let it sit and cool—this gets better the longer it sits, and keeps for weeks in a jar. -
Prepare the lamb patties
In a bowl, combine the lamb mince and kofte rub. Mix until just combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into flat patties, roughly the size of your bagels. Cook in a hot pan over medium-high heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside to rest. -
Fry the eggs
Fry the eggs to your liking—we like to go for sunny-side up so the yolk runs into everything. -
Assemble
Toast your bagels, then spread a generous layer of the garlic dill labneh on the bottom half. Add the lamb patty, top with a fried egg, and finish with a generous drizzle of the chili oil (make sure to spoon some of the flakes over too). Crown it with the top half of the bagel—or leave it open-faced if you're feeling fancy!
