Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water level is at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare the spiced yogurt mixture. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix until smooth.
When the eggs are done, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel. Let them rest in the ice water for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Place the halved eggs on a plate and generously spoon the spiced yogurt mixture over the eggs.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a light drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing, high-protein snack.
