Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups thick Greek yogurt (avoid runny yogurt)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • Fresh dill, chopped (about a small handful)
  • Pinch of salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon harissa paste (or chili paste)
  • Optional: extra dill and toasted bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs:
    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs and cook:

    • 6 minutes for jammy centers
    • 8 minutes for hard-boiled
      Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 3 minutes. Peel and set aside.
  2. Make the Yogurt Base:
    In a bowl, mix the yogurt with garlic, dill, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  3. Make the Spiced Butter:
    In a small saucepan, melt the butter with olive oil and harissa over medium heat. Heat until foamy and fragrant. Remove from heat.

  4. Assemble:
    Divide the yogurt mixture evenly into 3 containers. Add 2 eggs to each. Drizzle each with spiced butter (or store butter separately to reheat when serving).

  5. Store & Serve:
    Refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, let sit at room temp 10–15 minutes and serve with warm toasted bread.

Notes

  • Labneh or skyr makes this thicker and tangier.
  • Add cumin or smoked paprika to the butter for extra depth.
  • If the yogurt releases liquid during storage, just stir — totally normal.
  • Serve with sourdough toast, pita, or roasted potatoes for something heartier.
