Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or Aleppo pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes to develop flavor.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar.
  3. Carefully crack each egg into the simmering water and poach for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
  4. While the eggs cook, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat.
  5. Stir the chili flakes or Aleppo pepper into the butter and cook briefly until fragrant.
  6. Spread the garlicky yogurt onto serving plates or shallow bowls.
  7. Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.
  8. Spoon the warm chili butter over the eggs and yogurt.
  9. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best poaching results.
  • Keep the water at a gentle simmer to prevent the eggs from breaking apart.
  • Smoked paprika can be substituted for chili flakes for a milder smoky flavor.
  • Add sautéed spinach or toasted sourdough for a heartier meal.
  • The garlicky yogurt can be prepared several hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Store leftover yogurt and chili butter separately for up to 2 days.
  • This dish is best enjoyed immediately after preparing the poached eggs.
