Herbed Greek Yogurt with Smashed Soft Eggs

A fast and elegant brunch featuring creamy herbed Greek yogurt served over tender smashed soft-boiled eggs, offering a bright and comforting dish.

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

  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes.
  3. While eggs cool, combine the Greek yogurt and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs, place each on a plate, and gently smash them with a fork.
  5. 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.
