Turkish food is very popular in Melbourne where I live. I wonder why I didn’t know this ‘Turkish Poached Egg & Yoghurt’ until now. Have you ever tried it before? If you haven’t, try it today. It is seriously delicious! You need good quality crusty bread to enjoy it. This recipe should be enough for two people, but there is a big chance that you would want more.

Steps

1

To make Chilli Oil, combine Olive Oil, Chilli Flakes and Paprika (*optional) in a small heat-proof bowl, and heat in the microwave until hot. DO NOT make it too hot as Chilli and Paprika would burn.
2

Combine Unsweetened Yoghurt and grated Garlic, season with Salt, and mix well. Place in a serving bowl.
3

Cook a Poached Egg. *Note: It might be a good idea to cook 2 Poached Eggs if this is going to be shared with 2 people.
