Method
- Prepare the garlic yogurt: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt with minced garlic or rub a halved garlic clove around the serving bowl first. Add a pinch of salt and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Poach the eggs: Bring 3 inches of water, vinegar, and a pinch of salt to a gentle simmer in a wide pan. Crack eggs into cups. Swirl water into a vortex and slide in one egg. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Repeat.
- Make the spiced butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. As soon as it melts, remove from heat and immediately stir in Aleppo pepper and smoked paprika. Let infuse for 1 minute.
- Assemble the dish: Divide the yogurt between two shallow bowls, creating a well. Place two poached eggs in each well.
- Drizzle the warm spiced butter sauce over the eggs and yogurt. Garnish generously with fresh dill or mint.
- Serve immediately with plenty of crusty bread or warm pita for dipping.
Notes
If you can't find Aleppo pepper, substitute with 1 tsp sweet paprika + 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste). Use full-fat yogurt for best texture.
