I got bored of eating the same omelette for breakfast every morning, so today I mixed it up and made Turkish eggs! It’s more protein, a flavor pallet I haven’t had before, and I learned how to poach an egg 🙌🏻

Instructions

Step 1

Make the yogurt dip by combining the yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon. Combine and use a spoon to spread an even layer across your serving plate/bowl

Step 2

Make the butter topping by melting butter in a small saucepan, over medium heat. Once melted, add in the harissa paste and smoked paprika. Combine and take off the heat

Step 3

Boil water for the poached eggs in a medium saucepan. Season with salt and add a tbsp of white vinegar.

Step 4

Stir the water in a circular motion to create a vortex. Crack eggs into small bowls to make it easier to drop in. Lower into the water and do a scooping motion with the vortex to lift the bowl out without ruining the egg

Step 5

Lower the heat slightly and let it cook for 3 minutes. Take it out with a slotted spoon. If it’s not firm, put it back in for 10 more seconds

Step 6

Toast your bread of choice

Step 7

Assemble the bowl by putting the poached eggs on top of the yogurt. Add the spiced butter on top. Optional to serve with dill
