Description

A delightful breakfast dish featuring soft-cooked eggs perched on creamy garlic yogurt, drizzled with spiced butter and garnished with fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Fresh eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or sumac
  • Fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for the yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of olive oil. Mix until smooth.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into individual bowls and gently slide them into the water. Cook for 5-6 minutes for runny yolks.
  3. Melt butter in a pan and add paprika or sumac, allowing it to bubble gently.
  4. Place yogurt mixture on plates, add poached eggs on top, and drizzle with spiced butter.
  5. Garnish with chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread or warm pita.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for the best poaching results. Adjust garlic levels to your preference. Serve with bread for a complete meal.
