Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp quality butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the poaching water by filling a large saucepan with water and adding a splash of vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
