03 -
1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
04 -
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

4 large eggs
06 -
1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching water)

07 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 -
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika plus a pinch of chili flakes

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

10 -
2 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
11 -
Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives), for garnish

Black pepper, to taste
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with grated garlic, chopped herbs, and sea salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the toasted English muffin halves and set aside.
02 -
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer and add white vinegar. Crack eggs individually into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 3 to 4 minutes until whites are set and yolks remain soft. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.
03 -
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Stir in Aleppo pepper and ground cumin, swirling until the butter foams and spices release their fragrance, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
04 -
Place two toasted muffin halves on each plate. Top with a generous dollop of the yogurt herb base, then one poached egg per half. Drizzle spiced butter over the eggs, garnish with fresh herbs and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Adjust the seasoning of the yogurt mixture to taste. For additional heat, increase Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes. Avoid overcooking eggs to maintain a soft, runny yolk.
