Description
A savory and satisfying breakfast, Jammy Eggs With Chili Butter and Garlic Yogurt combines soft-boiled jammy eggs, spicy homemade chili butter, and creamy garlic yogurt for a rich and balanced flavor experience. Perfect for brunch or an elevated morning meal.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
1 clove garlic, minced or roasted
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp red chili flakes (or to taste)
Salt, to taste
1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for yogurt)
Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or dill)
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Make jammy eggs: Bring water to a boil, gently lower in the eggs, and cook for 6½ to 7 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 2 minutes. Peel and set aside.
Prepare garlic yogurt: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced or roasted garlic, lemon juice (optional), and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Make chili butter: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add red chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Assemble the dish: Spread garlic yogurt on a plate. Cut jammy eggs in half and arrange them on top. Spoon warm chili butter over the eggs.
Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve with toasted bread if desired.
Notes
Roasted garlic adds a deeper, nuttier flavor to the yogurt.
For extra spice, use fresh chopped chilies or hot paprika in the butter.
Best served immediately, but components can be prepped ahead.
Works well as a brunch plate or light lunch with sides.
