Description
A delicious fusion of the hearty Çılbır and elegant Eggs Benedict, featuring creamy garlic yogurt, tender poached eggs, and warm chili butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 2 slices of bread (toasted)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chili oil or crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley)
Instructions
- Poach those eggs: Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolk remains soft and runny.
- Prepare the yogurt: While your eggs are gently floating, combine the yogurt with minced garlic in a mixing bowl. Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing until everything melds harmoniously.
- Melt and infuse: In a small skillet, melt the butter on medium heat. Let it melt slowly, then add in the chili oil or crushed red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to cook for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
- Assemble your creation: Place your toasted bread on plates and generously spread the tangy garlic yogurt on top. Gently place a poached egg on each slice.
- Drizzle and garnish: Carefully pour the fragrant chili butter over the poached eggs and shower with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can prepare the yogurt mixture a day in advance. Consider trying an air fryer for poaching the eggs for a different texture.
