Ingredients

  • 2 warm poached eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain or Greek yogurt - or dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 20 drops Hedessent Bell Pepper Flavouring
  • 15 drops Hedessent Ripe Tomato Flavouring
  • 7-10 drops Hedessent Chili Hot Flavouring
  • Mixed herbs - mint leaves, parsley, dill

For Serving

  • Za'atar - add to eggs when serving (optional)
  • Toasted naan or bread of choice

Instructions

  • In a small sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Simmer butter until golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Whisk flavourings into browned butter.

To Serve:

  • Spread yogurt on a plate, top with poached eggs. Spoon hot butter over warm eggs. Sprinkle eggs with Za’atar and serve with a side of mixed herbs, avocado, and toasted naan. Enjoy!

How to Poach an Egg

  • Crack your egg into a bowl or saucer to ensure the yolk comes out whole
  • Add a drop of vinegar to your water
  • Bring a pot of water filled at least 5cm deep to a gentle simmer. Do not salt the water, as this may cause the egg white to break
  • Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool to help the egg white wrap around the yolk
  • Slowly tip the egg into the center of the pot. Make sure the heat is low enough not to throw the egg around – it should be a gentle simme
  • Let it cook until the white is set – about 3-4 mins
  • Lift egg out with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Notes
