Ingredients

2 eggs
1/4 cup natural, full fat yoghurt
1/2 small garlic glove, crushed
1 teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated)
1 big pinch of salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon butter
few baby mint leaves (optional)

Directions

1

Melt butter over gentle heat until foamy, stir in paprika and turn off heat.
2

Make yoghurt sauce by combining yoghurt with salt, garlic and lemon zest.
3

Gently fry 2 eggs in a splash of olive oil, until done to your liking. I like my yolks slightly runny.
4

Warm your pita briefly in a pan, dollop yoghurt sauce in the centre of the pita and smooth with the back of the spoon. Lay the 2 eggs over the sauce and drizzle on paprika butter. Sprinkle on some little mint leaves (if using).
