- Prepare the Yogurt:
- In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with minced garlic and salt. Adjust the salt according to your taste. Set aside.
- Poach the Eggs:
- Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Add the white vinegar if using (it helps the egg whites to set more easily).
- Crack each egg into a small bowl.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the eggs into the water one by one. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess water.
- Prepare the Seasoned Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir well until the spices are incorporated into the butter. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Turkish Eggs:
- Spread the garlic-infused yogurt on a serving plate.
- Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.
- Drizzle with Seasoned Butter:
- Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the poached eggs and yogurt.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
