Ingredients

1 garlic clove
1 3/4 cups whole-milk yogurt
4 poached eggs
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon Aleppo chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mint leaves (optional)
Pide or pita bread, for serving

Directions

1

Crush and pound the garlic to a paste in a mortar and pestle; mix it in with the yogurt. They must be properly mixed. These two ingredients are good company- leave them alone.
2

Meanwhile, combine the butter, chili flakes, and paprika in a small saucepan. Set over medium-high heat to melt and froth a little, about 2 minutes.
3

To assemble, spread the garlic yogurt on a plate and place the poached eggs on top, so you can see the beauty of the eggs.
4

Drizzle with chili butter, and season generously with salt and pepper. If you like, tear some mint leaves over the top for some extra color and texture. Serve with bread.
