While eggs are poaching, mix yogurt with crushed garlic, salt, and lemon juice in a bowl.

In a small pan, heat butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Add paprika and red pepper flakes to the butter, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a paper towel.

Spread the yogurt mixture on a plate, creating a nest for the eggs.

Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.

Drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs and yogurt.

Garnish with fresh dill and additional red pepper flakes if desired.
