Mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper, then set aside.

In a small pan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add 2 teaspoons of Aleppo pepper and 1 teaspoon of paprika to the melted butter, stirring until combined.

In a wider pan, heat about 2 inches of water and add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, bringing it to a simmer.

Strain the liquidy white from 4 eggs and place them in ramekins.

Gently lower the ramekins into the simmering water, spacing them out, and cook for 3 minutes for runny yolks.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and dab them on a paper towel to remove excess water if serving immediately.

On a plate, dollop and smear half of the yogurt, add 2 poached eggs in the middle, and drizzle the spiced butter sauce on top.

Garnish with freshly chopped dill and parsley.
