Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 30 g butter ( 2 tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley and dill
Instructions
- To poach the eggs, bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
- Crack on egg into a ramekin.
- Use a spoon to create a whirl in the water.
- Gently add the egg to the water, and leave it to simmer for 2 minutes until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg, then transfer it to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the extra water.
- Repeat with the second egg.
- To make the sauce, heat up a pan over a medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the chilli flakes and paprika and mix well.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic, and mix it with the yogurt.
- Arrange the eggs on top of the yogurt, and season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle with the butter sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and dill.
Notes
- Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature before you assemble the dish, as the cold yogurt and the hot eggs will be too different in temperature. It is a lot more comforting if you have everything at the same temperature.
- When the poached eggs cooked, use a spotted spoon to remove them and drain as much liquid as possible. It also helps with you transfer them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb more water.
