1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 percent milk fat or whole

4 tablespoons butter
6 fresh mint leaves

1
In a small bowl, stir the yogurt and garlic together.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams.

Add mint, paprika and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant.

Turn off the heat and keep warm.

In a large, deep skillet, combine two inches of water and the vinegar.

10
Crack the eggs gently into the water.
11
Simmer until softly cooked, about 3 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out one at a time, holding a paper towel under the spoon to avoid dripping water onto the yogurt.

Grind black pepper onto each egg, and serve immediately with hot toasted pita bread.
