Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the yogurt base. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 1 minced clove of garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Fill a medium saucepan with 4 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Carefully slide the eggs one by one into the simmering water, using a spoon to help the whites encase the yolks as they cook. Let them poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
While the eggs are poaching, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter starts to bubble, add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 0.5 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper. Stir and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Remove the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, and let them drain on a paper towel briefly.
To assemble, spread the garlic yogurt onto a serving plate. Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.
Drizzle the spicy melted butter over the eggs and yogurt.
Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped dill and a touch of black pepper over the surface.
Serve immediately with warm crusty bread or pita.
