Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized skillet over low heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sour cream and water to the skillet, stirring gently to create a smooth sauce. Allow the mixture to warm through, but do not let it boil.
Season the sour cream sauce with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Using the back of a spoon, create small wells in the sour cream mixture for each egg.
Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the wells, being careful not to break the yolks.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook gently for 6–8 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
Sprinkle the chopped dill and chives over the finished dish before serving.
Carefully spoon the poached eggs along with the sour cream sauce onto plates or toasted bread for serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, tangy breakfast dish!
