Turkish poached eggs with Boxty
Dromod Boxty

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices Dromod Irish Homemade Boxty
  • 4 eggs (very fresh, for poaching)
  • 300g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar (for poaching water)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika or Aleppo pepper
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Fresh herbs: dill, parsley, coriander (to garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the yoghurt base:

  • Mix Greek yoghurt with grated garlic and a pinch of salt. Spread it over the base of a shallow serving bowl or plate.

Poach the eggs:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Crack eggs into cups and gently drop into the water. Poach for 3–4 mins, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

Make the chilli butter:

  • In a small pan, melt butter and olive oil together. Add paprika and a pinch of salt. Heat for 1 minute until fragrant.

Assemble the plate:

  • Place poached eggs on top of the yoghurt. Drizzle with spiced butter. Garnish with fresh herbs and a twist of black pepper.

Toast the boxty:

  • Toast or pan-fry the Dromod Boxty slices until golden and warm. Cut into triangles and serve on the side for dipping.
