Ingredients

  • 1 cup thick yogurt Turkish hoặc Greek
  • 1 handful fresh dill chopped
  • 1 handful fresh mint leaves chopped
  • ½ garlic clove minced
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 oz 55 g butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix the yogurt with dill, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper until thick and creamy, then set aside.
  • Poach the eggs in gently simmering water with a splash of vinegar, slipping each egg into a small whirlpool and cooking about 3 minutes until the whites set and the yolks stay runny.
  • Melt the butter over low heat, add chili flakes and smoked paprika, and let it bubble briefly until aromatic and richly colored, then remove from heat.
  • Spread the herbed yogurt on a plate, top with the poached eggs, and spoon the warm spiced butter over everything; finish with extra herbs or black pepper.
