Ingredients
- 2 soft-cooked eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, finely chopped (dill, parsley, or chives)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Lower the eggs in with a spoon and cook for about 6–7 minutes for a soft but set white and jammy yolk.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes.
- While eggs cool, combine the Greek yogurt and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Peel the cooled eggs, place each on a plate, and gently smash them with a fork.
- Spoon the herbed yogurt over the smashed eggs and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and additional pepper. Serve immediately on toast, crackers, or greens.
Notes
For a tangier option, use labneh or strained yogurt. Dried herbs can substitute fresh; reduce the quantity. For a dairy-free option, try thick coconut yogurt with lemon zest.
