Turkish eggs

Ingredients:
  • For the yoghurt - 400g Greek yoghurt, 200g feta, crumbled and 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
  • For the fiery pine nut butter - 2 tbsp butter, 1-2 tsp chilli powder and 90-100g pine nuts
  • 25g fresh mint, leaves only
  • 25g parsley, leaves only
  • 8 eggs, poached
  • Za'atar, optional
  • Crusty bread for dipping
Method:
  1. To make the yoghurt, combine all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. To make the fiery pinenut butter, add the butter to a small saucepan over a medium heat. Allow to melt, then add the chilli and pinenuts. Gently swirl the mixture until the pinenuts turn a golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. To assemble, divide the yoghurt between the four plates. Spread it using the back of a spoon and leave a slight hollow in the centre of each plate.
  4. Divide the herbs between the four plates, add two poached eggs to each plate, spoon the fiery pinenut butter over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of za'atar if using.
  5. Serve with crusty bread for dipping and enjoy right away.
