Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 50 g Butter
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 4 units Eggs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill (optional)
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it rest at room temperature while you prepare the eggs.
Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water to help the eggs hold their shape while poaching.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water, one at a time. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Remove the eggs using a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it begins to foam, add the paprika and Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes). Stir for 30 seconds, then remove the pan from the heat to prevent the spices from burning.
Spread the garlic yogurt onto a serving plate or individual plates, creating a bed. Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.
Drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs and yogurt. Garnish with fresh dill and a pinch of ground black pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a luxurious, low-carb feast!
