Easy Turkish Eggs with Paprika Butter

I discovered Turkish eggs through a friend and they became a weekend ritual. The warm paprika butter over cool yogurt is the kind of contrast that makes me close my eyes and slow down.

Ingredients

Servings: 4

Yogurt base

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove finely grated
1/4 tsp sea salt

Eggs

4 eggs

Paprika butter

2 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

To serve

Fresh dill or parsley
Toasted sourdough

Instructions

Combine yogurt, garlic, and salt. Spread onto two plates.
Bring a pot of water to gentle simmer.
Poach eggs 3 to 4 minutes until whites are set.
Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat.
Stir in paprika and red pepper flakes, cook 30 seconds.
Place two eggs over each yogurt portion.
Spoon warm paprika butter over eggs.
Garnish with herbs, serve with toast.

Vivi's Notes

For easier version, use soft-boiled eggs instead. A squeeze of lemon brightens everything. Pair with cucumber and tomato salad for a full meal.
