Eggs (3)
Greek Yogurt (1 Cup)
Mint (8-10 Leaves)
Garlic (1 Clove, Minced)
White Vinegar (1-2 Tablespoons)
Salted Butter (1/2 Cup)
Smoked Paprika (1/2 Teaspoon)
Lemon (1 Teaspoon)
STEPS:
Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Poach the Eggs:
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring with a spoon, then gently slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool one at a time.
Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.
Prepare the Butter Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Continue cooking the butter until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and add a pinch of paprika if desired, stirring well.
Assemble the Dish:
Divide the yogurt sauce between two plates, spreading it out to create a bed for the eggs.
Place two poached eggs on top of the yogurt sauce on each plate.
Drizzle the brown butter sauce over the eggs and yogurt.
Garnish:
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and mint over the eggs and yogurt.
Add an extra pinch of salt to taste, and paprika if desired.
Serve:
Serve immediately with toasted bread for dipping.
