Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 8 cups of water and add the white vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolks stay intact.
Step 3
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring in a circular motion. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool, allowing the water to wrap the whites around the yolk. Repeat with the remaining eggs, one at a time.
Step 4
Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Use a slotted spoon to remove each poached egg from the water and place on a paper towel to drain.
Step 5
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lime zest, and lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then divide the yogurt mixture evenly between two plates, spreading it out in a circle.
Step 6
In a small skillet over low heat, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes. Heat gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the oil is infused with the spices. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Place two poached eggs on top of the herbed yogurt on each plate. Drizzle the chili-lime oil evenly over the eggs.
Step 8
Garnish with extra dill or chili flakes, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the dizzying blend of flavors!
