Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Turkish Eggs
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped fresh dill, mint leaves, and minced garlic with the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until well-blended. Set aside.
- Fill a deep pot with water and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the vinegar and stir gently to create a vortex.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl before gently pouring it into the swirling vortex of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set.
- In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in chili flakes and smoked paprika. Let it mingle for about a minute until fragrant.
- On a serving plate, spread a layer of herbed yogurt as the base. Place the poached eggs on top and drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs.
- Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.

Notes
Turkish Eggs shine when made fresh for the best flavor experience. Store leftover yogurt in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
