Ingredients
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt (made with whole milk, at room temperature)
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the room-temp yogurt and garlic, a good pinch of kosher salt and whisk well. Divide the yogurt mixture between two serving bowls and set aside for now.
- Bring a medium saucepan full of water to a boil. Stir in the vinegar.
- Meanwhile, crack an egg into a small fine mesh sieve over a small bowl. Gently swirl the eggs in the sieve to drain the liquidy part of the egg whites (this gives you a neater-looking poached egg). Transfer the egg to a ramekin.
- When the water is ready, using a wooden spoon, stir the water to create a vortex. Quickly add the egg to the middle of vortex and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. When ready, using a slotted spoon, transfer the egg to a plate that’s been lined with parchment paper.
- Prepare and cook the second egg exactly as you did the first.
- While the second egg is cooking, quickly make the olive oil sauce. In a small skillet, warm the olive oil and Aleppo pepper over medium heat.
- Immediately transfer the poached eggs to the prepared yogurt bowls (simply place each egg on top of the yogurt mixture) and drizzle with the heated oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite rustic bread.
