Poached Eggs with Yogurt and Hot Red Pepper Sizzle
- 6 ounces sheeps, goats, or cows milk yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Kosher salt
- 4 very fresh eggs at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon Marash or Aleppo pepper
- Pinch of sweet or hot paprika
- 2 small cazuelitas, porcelain remekins, or small gratin dishes
- Drain the yogurt in a sieve lined with a paper towel for 30 minutes, until thickened.
- In a small bowl, mash the garlic to a paste with the salt.
- Add the yogurt and blend well.
- Set aside at room temperature.
- About 20 minutes before serving, put 2 small cazuelitas in a wide saucepan of water to cover.
- Set over medium heat and slowly bring to a simmer.
- Carefully transfer the cazuelitas to a doubled kitchen towel to drain.
- Leave the pot of water on the stove.
- Add the vinegar to the water and maintain at a simmer.
- One by one, break an egg onto a saucer and slip into the water.
- Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, about 2 1/2 minutes.
- Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spatula and place 2 eggs in each warm cazuelita.
- Top each egg with one-quarter of the garlic yogurt.
- Quickly melt the butter in a small conventional saucepan.
- Add the Marash pepper and paprika and stir; the butter will turn bright red.
- Drizzle the butter over each serving, leaving the paprika powder and pepper flakes behind in the saucepan.
- Serve at once.
