- 150g Greek yogurt
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 15ml olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for poaching)
Instructions
- 1.In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly in a shallow serving bowl.
- 2.Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar, which helps the egg whites set.
- 3.Crack one egg into a small cup, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk.
- 4.While the eggs are poaching, gently warm the olive oil in a very small pan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the smoked paprika.
- 5.Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water, allowing excess water to drain off. Place the eggs on top of the yogurt base.
- 6.Drizzle the warm paprika oil over the eggs and yogurt. Garnish with a final pinch of black pepper and serve immediately.
