I like the yogurt twist--sometimes eggs aren't enough and we're trying to adhere to Glucose Goddess's recommendation for savory breakfast. I always sprinkle smoked paprika & garlic on our eggs as we love the taste and health benefits of both. I also use Farmers cheese.

Great ideas!! I love to sprinkle garlic and Chipotle powder but since I’m also a fan of smoked paprika, I will definitely give this a try.

Paprika is reputed to be heart healthy but we just plain love it (along w garlic), but hey we're from N.O. and we put garlic in just about everything.

Absolutely delicious. I have added it to my breakfast rotation. I didn't make any changes to the recipe but I do enjoy it with a piece of homemade sourdough toast.

I'm mad for this recipe and currently have it on repeat. Today I added some turmeric to the oil - tossed on an absurd amount of chopped dill and topped with some pickled red onions - gorgeous to look at and insanely delicious!

Excellent and easy! I used my well seasoned cast iron pan and brought the eggs and yogurt to room temperature first. Delicious and reminds me of eggs Benedict without the meat.

I absolutely love making this; it has become a favorite of mine and on a real lazy evening when I just don’t want to do much in the kitchen, this has been known to be my dinner. Great idea and what a good use of the myriad of Meyer lemons I get every year from my tree.

I made this for breakfast this morning. I used fresh thyme and parsley, and the only change I would make would be too add more of the herbs, because they really complemented the tangy yogurt. Wonderful with some good bread to dredge the yogurt/yolk at the end. Delicious! Definitely will be making it again :)

Also - it may be worth noting after reading some comments - I think the kind of yogurt you use really matters here, despite what the recipe says. I used some better quality, thick Greek yogurt and it was perfect

Wow, this was good. The eggs, olive oil and yogurt make for a delicious, silky combination. I snipped basil and chive blossoms over it, and it was as beautiful as it was tasty.

And here I thought I discovered steam basting. Oh, well. It's a good technique.

Made this for breakfast with my daughter: very light, refreshing and tasty. A welcome change from the everyday. ❤️

All those thoughts that scream “eggs and yogurt don’t go together”?? Listen. To. Them. I love yogurt and I love eggs, but never together again.

I didn't understand what the excitement was about. Good, but not the 4th of July.

I’m very excited about this recipe, as all the ingredients listed are a big favourites of mine. But, am I missing something? It says the prep time is 10 hours. Please help! Is that just a simple mistake, or I missed something in the description?

Hi Natalia, that was definitely wrong—this couldn't be quicker to make. I've fixed it!

Must say that I started out very skeptical about this combination and the recipe because of how simple it was. So pleasantly surprised! It's delicious and very satisfying without being heavy. I added some arugula. Will be repeating this for sure!

OMG, same here. I was SUPER skeptical... Now that all my herbs are up and out, going for it again. It is such a transformative dish!

Here is another tip on serving eggs for breakfast including this dish. Make your toast, if serving it, first thing. Then put your serving plate(s) with the toast on top of the toaster, pushing the empty toaster to start another cycle if necessary. This will warm the plate(s) and keep the toast...well, toasty, while you complete your other preparations.
If I have more than one plate for service, I try to swap the top and bottom (empty) plates occasionally. Be careful for the plates can get too warm to touch, and you do not want to burn yourself or to drop hot plates. Use a pot rag, a napkin, or dishtowel for safety when handling and filling the warmed plates for service.
Also, I add dill, fresh if I have it, to this dish for something a little different.

I loved it! I agree that it tasted like a hollandaise sauce. I used "OUI" French style yogurt by Yoplait and it was less tart then other plain yogurts I've tried.
Served it with a sprinkle of parsley, Feta slices and, blackberries . Dinner next time, maybe over angel hair pasta?
