A savory, protein-packed breakfast featuring poached eggs nestled in a bed of garlicky lemon yogurt, drizzled with a warm, spiced Aleppo pepper oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Divide the mixture between two serving bowls and spread it out slightly. Let it sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest.
Room temp yogurt prevents the hot eggs from cooling down too quickly!
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Stir in the Aleppo pepper and smoked paprika. Heat for 2-3 minutes until the butter starts to foam and turns a vibrant red, then remove from heat.
Don't let the butter burn; you just want it infused and fragrant.
Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small ramekin first. Swirl the water to create a vortex and gently drop the eggs in. Poach for 3 minutes for a runny yolk.
Using a ramekin helps the egg keep its shape in the water.
Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them directly onto the yogurt beds. Drizzle the warm spiced oil over the eggs and yogurt, then top with fresh dill and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
This is a staple in my house because it feels like a fancy brunch but takes almost no effort. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the eggs to get those slightly crispy edges while keeping the yolks runny! Serve with plenty of crusty whole-grain bread to soak up every bit of that creamy yogurt and spicy oil.
