Ingredients
 
 

  • 300 g Greek yoghurt
  • 4 eggs
  • 5 g parsley roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove peeled
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 teaspoon dukkah
  • 2 slices sourdough bread

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan until hot but not smoking. Then take off the heat. Add a whole clove of garlic, chilli flakes and salt. Leave the oil to infuse with the flavours and cool down for 15 minutes.
  • Divide the Greek yoghurt between two bowls. Poach the eggs for three to four minutes in boiling water with a splash of vinegar (if in doubt, have a look at our post on How To Poach an Egg?). Using a slotted spoon, place the eggs on top of the yoghurt.
  • Drizzle the eggs with flavoured oil and sprinkle with Dukkah. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with crusty sourdough bread slices.
