Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute paprika mixed with dried chilli flakes for Aleppo pepper, and bread of your choice for sourdough bread.

    The combination of browned butter, Aleppo pepper, garlic, egg yolk & tangy yogurt, also with its creamy texture, is gorgeous. On the other hand, using 3 different pans, 1st thing in the morning, for just 1 portion, is not proportionate to the reward. It could be a good dish for a casual light supper or lunch party, with really good bread, provided you could get all the eggs poached at the same time, however, it is hard to make it look pretty. The Aleppo pepper burns fast! I made it perfectly, then it cooled & resolidified, & burnt when I remelted it, so I had to make it again. Another time, I'd make the butter & pepper as a separate step, immediately before serving, & remove the pan from the stove the moment it is done.
