Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

  • 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

  • 1 small garlic clove, grated

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper or a pinch hot pepper flakes

  • A few sprigs of dill or parsley (dill is traditional)

Directions

  • Combine yogurt, garlic and salt in a bowl, place over a pot with very lightly simmering water and let heat gently without boiling the water.
  • Melt butter in skillet and cook until golden (brown butter or beurre noisette)
  • Add oil, paprika and hot peppers to the butter, stir and remove from heat.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, reduce heat so the water is barely simmering with just a few bubbles around the edges of the pot. Add the vinegar.
  • While water is heating break an egg into a strainer set over a small bowl. Let some of the more watery white drain into the bowl.
  • Tip the egg into a small ramekin.
  • When the water is ready use a spoon to create a bit of a swirl, then tip the egg into the water. Let cook3-4 minutes until white set and yolk is soft.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with remaining eggs. You can do them 2 at a time.
  • To serve, spoon yogurt into a shallow bowl, place eggs along one side. Drizzle with butter and garnish with parsley.
  • Serve warm.
