HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a small bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, smoked paprika, cumin, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

02

Heat the olive oil in a small (8-inch) non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

03

Carefully crack the two eggs into the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Season the eggs with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.

04

Cook the eggs for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).

05

While the eggs are cooking, spread the spiced yogurt mixture evenly onto two serving plates or shallow bowls.

06

Once the eggs are cooked, carefully transfer one egg onto each bed of spiced yogurt.

07

Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and mint. Serve immediately with warm pita bread or crusty bread, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the yogurt mixture. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick for easy egg removal.

Easy Substitutions

Greek yogurt can be used for a thicker texture. Dill can replace mint or parsley for a different herbal note. Feta cheese crumbled on top makes a great addition.
