Description

A delightful dish featuring tender jammy eggs paired with chili-infused butter and creamy garlic yogurt, perfect for brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • Fresh herbs (chives or parsley) for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon juice, for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes for jammy yolks.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, melt the butter in a pan over low heat. Add chili flakes and gently stir to infuse the butter.
  3. In a small bowl, mix yogurt with minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Once the eggs are ready, plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs once cool.
  5. On a plate, place the peeled jammy eggs, drizzle with chili butter, and top with garlic yogurt. Garnish with fresh herbs and additional chili if desired.
  6. Serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

Ensure not to overcook the eggs for the perfect jammy texture. The ice bath is recommended to make peeling easier.
