Description

A delightful dish combining runny eggs, creamy yogurt, and vibrant spices, perfect for brunch or family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup whole-milk yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 teaspoons chili flakes or Aleppo pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or mint) for garnishing
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Whip until smooth and creamy.

  4. Assemble the Dish: Spread the whipped yogurt on a plate, place the cooked eggs on top, drizzle with chili oil, and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based yogurt. Add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist.
