Preparation

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix room-temperature Greek yogurt with finely grated garlic and a pinch of salt; divide between two shallow bowls.

  2. 2

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and poach eggs for 3 to 4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain soft.

  3. 3

    Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat; stir in chilli flakes and smoked paprika until foaming and fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Lift poached eggs with a slotted spoon, drain briefly, and place two gently over each portion of yogurt.

  5. 5

    Spoon the sizzling spiced butter directly over the eggs and scatter with fresh dill sprigs to serve immediately.
