Turkish Dippy Egg Bowl

Turkish eggs in garlic yoghurt with chunky slices of toasted sourdough

A spicy start to the morning, these Turkish eggs are delicious and packed with Mediterranean flavours. Assemble the punchy ingredients before dunking your sourdough slices.

Ingredients (serves two)

  • 120g full fat Greek yogurt
  • One fat garlic clove or two small 
  • A small bunch of dill, finely chopped 
  • 2 tsp Maldon salt 
  • 50g butter
  • 3 tsp Aleppo pepper, this can’t be substituted, it has to be the genuine article
  • 2-4 Poached eggs
  • 2 large, thick slices of your favourite Luke’s Bakery Sourdough
Method:

  1. In a pestle and mortar add the salt and the garlic cloves and smash until they’ve formed a fine paste
  2. Add this to the yogurt
  3. Warm the yogurt slowly in a pan until just warm and the aroma of garlic fills the room. Once warm, set aside.
  4. Poach a couple of eggs, meanwhile make the Aleppo butter. In a frying pan, melt the butter and, once it’s almost sizzling, add in the Aleppo pepper and the chopped dill. 
  5. To assemble place the warm garlic yogurt into a shallow bowl, topped with the eggs and the Aleppo butter.
  6. Dunk fat wedges of Luke’s bread into the egg and enjoy!
