Turkish Poached Eggs with Garlic Yogurt image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 small cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
8 large eggs
2 large pinches red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch watercress, tough stems trimmed
1 small whole-wheat baguette, split, toasted and cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, garlic, dill, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; stir until smooth. Spread the yogurt on 4 plates.
  • Bring about 3 inches of water to a boil in a wide pot. Add the vinegar and reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer. Crack 4 eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins. Carefully lower each egg into the water. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and blot the bottoms dry on a kitchen towel. Divide among the plates. Let the water return to a simmer and repeat with the remaining 4 eggs; add to the plates. Season the eggs with a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Toast the walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes, then stir in the butter until melted. Spoon over the eggs.
  • Toss the watercress with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl; divide among the plates. Serve with the bread.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper, or even some chopped fresh herbs.
