Turkish Eggs on toast
You can't imagine how fantastic is to be home alone. I do exactly the same things I do every day but nobody interrupts me. Relaxing. It's time to try new recipes, creating something extraordinary, typically non-social food with plenty of raw onion or garlic – in this case. Here is my first attempt...:
INGREDIENTS (makes 2 sandwiches)
150g Greek-style yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 slices poppy seed bloomer
35g butter
2 eggs
1 heaped tsp chilli flakes
6 sage leaves
flaky sea salt
1. Bring a pan of water to the boil then turn it down to a simmer. Meanwhile, spoon the yoghurt into a bowl, add the crushed garlic and plenty of salt and beat together well.
2. Toast the bread.
3. Melt the butter in a small frying pan. While the butter is melting, crack the eggs into two separate cups. Using a slotted spoon gently swirl the simmering water. Carefully drop in the eggs and poach for 2-3 minutes.
4. Once the butter has started to foam, stir in the chilli flakes then add the sage leaves and let them sizzle for 30 seconds or so.
5. Drizzle a little of the butter over each slice of toast and spoon the yoghurt on top, making a dip with the back of a spoon. Lift the eggs out of the water using a slotted spoon and drain, then place into the dip in the yoghurt.
6. Drizzle over the chilli and sage butter and eat straight away.
