Method

1

Fill a pot with water and set over medium heat. Add white vinegar at a ratio of about 50 ml per 1 liter of water. Bring to a gentle simmer.

2

While the water is heating up, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic, and salt together in a bowl. The yogurt should be at room temperature. Set it aside.

3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once fully melted, add the chili pepper, stir gently, remove from the heat, and let it infuse.

4

Crack the eggs one by one into separate small bowls. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny.

5

While the eggs are cooking, spoon the garlic-yogurt mixture onto serving plates, spreading it out slightly with a spoon.

6

Remove the cooked eggs with a slotted spoon and let any excess water drain off. Place the poached eggs directly on top of the yogurt.

7

Drizzle the eggs with the aromatic chili butter. Sprinkle with fresh herbs for a pop of freshness and color.

8

Serve immediately—best enjoyed with warm, crusty bread or Turkish flatbread for dipping into the sauce.
