A comforting blend of creamy Greek yogurt and perfectly poached eggs, enhanced with aromatic spices for a delightful breakfast or brunch experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large fresh eggs
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Spoon the Greek yogurt into a serving bowl and stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the yogurt. Mix well to combine.
