Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water level is at least 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs cook, prepare the spiced yogurt mixture. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

When the eggs are done, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel. Let them rest in the ice water for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 6

Place the halved eggs on a plate and generously spoon the spiced yogurt mixture over the eggs.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a light drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing, high-protein snack.
