Author Notes

This dish is super easy, and it's pure bliss. Each time I make it I feel like I'm in a fancy-pants cafe, except that I'm still in my pyjamas and my hair looks like a bird's nest. —Eat This My Friend | Jade O'Donahoo

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup natural, full fat yoghurt
  • 1/2 small garlic glove, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated)
  • 1 big pinch of salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • few baby mint leaves (optional)
Directions
  1. Melt butter over gentle heat until foamy, stir in paprika and turn off heat.
  2. Make yoghurt sauce by combining yoghurt with salt, garlic and lemon zest.
  3. Gently fry 2 eggs in a splash of olive oil, until done to your liking. I like my yolks slightly runny.
  4. Warm your pita briefly in a pan, dollop yoghurt sauce in the centre of the pita and smooth with the back of the spoon. Lay the 2 eggs over the sauce and drizzle on paprika butter. Sprinkle on some little mint leaves (if using).

Looks really simple, and I just so happen to have all the ingredients on hand. Gonna make this tomorrow.

It was good. I think you left out the garlic measurement on the ingredients list, so I just went with one clove. It was good. Not something that I could particularly eat every other day, but good. My pita bread went bad, unfortunately, so I had to substitute toast.
