Garlic Yogurt with Eggs and chile butter

 I thought this sounded and looked kind of weird when Isla made it, but turns out, it was yummy.

Serves 4

Prep 10 minutes

Cook 6-8 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup plain yogurt (greek is fine)

1 garlic clove, finely chopped or grated

zest and juice from 1 lemon

1/2 lemon cut into wedges

salt

4 eggs

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

4 T butter

2 T crushed red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper

1/3 tsp paprika

1 T sesame seeds

Fresh parsley, basil, mint, and/or dill for serving (any combo works)

 Good hearty bread, or flat bread

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice and a pinch of salt.  

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sesame oil, butter, lemon wedges, red pepper flakes, paprika and pinch of salt.  Cook until lemon is browned, 3-4 minutes.  Remove from the heat and discard lemon wedges.  Stir in the sesame seeds. Set aside.

3. Poach or fry the eggs.

4. Spread the yogurt into the bottom of 4 bowls and add an egg to each bowl.  Spoon sauce onto each each.  Top with fresh herbs and serve with toasted bread.
