03

Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low. Add 1 cup of plain whole milk yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the onion and garlic.

05

Make four small wells in the yogurt mixture and carefully crack 4 large eggs into each well.

Remove from heat, garnish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped dill, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Ensure the heat is low when adding the yogurt to prevent it from curdling. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute chives or parsley for dill. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Feta cheese can be crumbled on top before serving for extra saltiness.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture of the eggs and yogurt may change upon reheating.
