A very popular Turkish breakfast, the yolks from these poached eggs swirl through yoghurt flavoured with garlic and dill. The dish is then drizzled with brown butter and sprinkled with a little smoked paprika. Serve with Turkish bread or pita breads to mop up the sauce.
Ingredients
| 1 clove | Garlic, minced |
| ½ cup | Dill, finely chopped |

Directions
- Stir the garlic and dill in to the yoghurt and season to taste with salt.
- Poach eggs for about 3 minutes until the white has set. The yolks should be runny.
- Heat the butter and pepper in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until it becomes a light tan colour. Remove pan from the heat; the butter will continue to brown in the residual heat but should not burn.
- Drain the eggs on paper towels.
- Divide the yoghurt between two bowls and rest two eggs on top of each. Pour over the butter and sprinkle over smoked paprika. Serve with pita or Turkish breads.
