There are records of çılbır being eaten by Ottoman sultans as far back as the 15th century.[2] It is now common to serve the dish topped with melted butter infused with Aleppo pepper,[3] for which paprika can be substituted.
In several Balkan countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, the Turkish word çılbır is rendered as čimbur and refers to a fried eggs dish. Almost identical is the Panagyurski style eggs dish in Bulgaria.
