Prepare the yogurt by mixing it with minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.

Poach eggs in simmering water with white spirit vinegar until whites are set and yolks remain runny, about 2.5 to 4 minutes depending on desired doneness.

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

Add smoked paprika and Aleppo pepper (or red chili flakes) to the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Spread the garlic yogurt on a plate.

Carefully place poached eggs on top of the yogurt.

Drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs.

Garnish with fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or thyme) and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
