Ingredients
  

For the Herbed Yogurt
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Greek Yogurt or low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice or lime juice
  • 1 clove Garlic grated
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill or mint
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt or sea salt
For the Poached Eggs
  • 4 large Large Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Distilled White Vinegar
For the Spiced Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo Pepper or red pepper flakes
For Serving
  • 1 pita Pita or Crusty Bread for dipping

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Large saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, dill, and salt until smooth.
  2. Fill a large saucepan with water and add vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crack each egg into a ramekin and slide them into the simmering water, poaching for about 3 minutes.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to lift the poached eggs out of the water, allowing excess water to drain off and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter until bubbling but not browned. Add Aleppo pepper to the butter and stir for about 1 minute.
  5. Spread the herbed yogurt in serving bowls, place poached eggs on top, drizzle spiced butter over the eggs, catching some pepper.
  6. Garnish with fresh dill and a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve with warm pita or crusty bread.
