A delightful dish featuring poached eggs on herbed yogurt, topped with spiced butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herbed Yogurt: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set this aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Poach the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for about 3–4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to gently lift the eggs out, placing them on a paper towel to drain.
  3. Make the Spiced Butter: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the olive oil and butter together. Once hot, add the paprika, stirring for a few seconds until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Serve: Spread the herbed yogurt mixture onto a plate. Place the poached eggs on top, then drizzle with the spiced butter. Garnish generously with fresh herbs, and serve warm alongside crusty bread.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt. Use the freshest eggs for best poaching results.
