Ingredients
  

Herbed Yogurt
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 unit fresh lemon juice juice of half a lemon
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
Poached Eggs
  • 2 large eggs fresh
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Spiced Butter Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or paprika if necessary

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • medium saucepan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Small pan
  • paper towels

Method
 

Prepare Herbed Yogurt
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Then, add the minced garlic, chopped dill, mint, and a pinch of salt. Blend until well combined and set aside.
Poach the Eggs
  1. Fill a medium saucepan with water, add vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into small bowls and slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3 minutes, until the whites are set.
Drain the Eggs
  1. Using a slotted spoon, lift the poached eggs from the water and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess water.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add Aleppo pepper, stirring to combine as it becomes aromatic.
Assemble the Dish
  1. Spoon the herbed yogurt into shallow bowls, place the poached eggs on top, and drizzle with the spiced butter sauce. Sprinkle with additional herbs if desired.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately, accompanied by warm flatbreads or crusty bread.
