Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Dill or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 slices Bread (such as sourdough or flatbread), for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic (1 clove), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt to season. Remove from heat and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar and stir to create a gentle whirlpool. Crack one egg into a small bowl and gently slide the egg into the whirlpool. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the paprika, red pepper flakes, and the remaining minced garlic clove. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spices are fragrant and the butter begins to brown slightly. Remove from heat.
To assemble, divide the sautéed spinach between two plates. Spoon the garlicky yogurt sauce over the spinach. Top each plate with two poached eggs. Drizzle the spiced butter mixture generously over the eggs and yogurt.
Garnish with chopped dill or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with slices of bread for dipping.
