Step 1

In a bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt with minced garlic (if using) and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once melted, add the paprika and red pepper flakes, and cook for a minute until the butter is fragrant and takes on a rich red color. Be careful not to burn the butter.

Step 4

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the vinegar to the simmering water.

Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon and carefully slide each egg into the water one at a time.

Poach the eggs for about 2 and half to 3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and drain them on a paper towel.

Step 9

Spread the garlic yogurt on a serving plate.

Step 10

Place the poached eggs on top of the yoghurt.

Drizzle with the spiced butter.
