Trim the tough root ends of the ciris greens and cut the leaves and stems into 4 cm pieces.
Boil the ciris in salted water for 7 minutes.
Drain the boiled ciris and, once warm, squeeze out the water by hand.
Melt the butter in a pan and turn the ciris for 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Pour the eggs into the pan and cook for 4 minutes, drawing the edges toward the center.
Serve ciris mihlas hot with lavash.
💡 Tip: After boiling the ciris, squeeze it by hand; excess water thins the eggs and pushes the butter aroma into the background.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ciris mihlas hot with lavash and optional Van herbed cheese as a breakfast plate.
