Dried mint 1/2 tsp
Sea salt flakes 1 tsp
Unsalted butter 200 g

Turn off the heat, leaving the bowl over the pan.
  • Melt the butter gently in a separate small saucepan until it is just beginning to turn hazelnut-brown. Turn the heat off, add in the Aleppo pepper, smoked paprika and set aside.
  • Fill a wide, lidded saucepan with 4cm/1½ in water and place over a medium heat. Line a large plate with kitchen paper.
  • Crack the first egg, Gently tip the egg into a small cup or ramekin.
  • When the poaching water is just starting to simmer, create a whirlpool in the water, gently slide in the egg. Turn the heat right down so there is no movement in the water, and poach the egg for 3–4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still runny. Transfer the eggs to the lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat the same with the second.
  • Divide the warm, creamy yoghurt between two shallow bowls, top each with a poached egg, pour over the peppery butter, scatter the chopped dill on top and eat with the Manakish or Zaatar Croissant or Cheese Pide.
