About

Delicious and deceptively simple: perfectly cooked poached eggs served over garlicky yoghurt and finished with a drizzle of chilli olive oil. We serve it with toast in the café – the perfect way to get started in the morning.

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic and a good pinch of salt. Divide between four serving bowls.
Poach the eggs (tips). While the eggs are poaching, gently heat the olive oil in a small pan until it starts to shimmer, then stir in the Aleppo chilli flakes and let them sizzle for 30 seconds or so.
