Ingredients
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about ½ a lemon)
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
2 teaspoons fresh mint, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or substitute with red pepper flakes or paprika)
Pita or crusty bread, for serving
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Bring a saucepan with 3 inches of water and the vinegar to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a ramekin and gently slide into the water.
- Poach eggs for about 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add Aleppo pepper and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Spread the herbed yogurt on the base of serving plates. Top each with two poached eggs.
- Drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs. Garnish with extra dill or mint, flaky sea salt, and black pepper.
- Serve immediately with pita or crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
- The herbed yogurt can be made a day in advance.
- Poached eggs can be made ahead and reheated in simmering water for 30–60 seconds.
- Use red pepper flakes or paprika if Aleppo pepper isn’t available.
- Labneh or sour cream can substitute for Greek yogurt.
- Add feta or ricotta for extra creaminess.
