Ingredients

2 cup Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove sliced or minced (I like sliced as I like the texture but mincing is perfectly fine)
3 tbsp butter
½-1 tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp smoked paprika
4 eggs boiled, poached or fried
salt and black pepper to taste
fresh herbs parsley/dill/chives

Instructions

Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl then season with salt and pepper
In a small skillet or pan set over medium-high heat, melt the butter then add the garlic, chilli flakes and smoked paprika.
Cook for a minute until the butter is melted and foamy then remove from the heat.
Cook the eggs to your preference - I boiled mine for 7 minutes.
Divide the yogurt mixture between two serving bowls then add the eggs and drizzle over a few tablespoons of the spicy butter.
Garnish with fresh herbs then serve immediately with pita bread or flatbread of your choice.
