Çılbır is one of the great breakfast combinations: soft poached eggs on cool, garlicky yogurt with warm butter spiked with Aleppo pepper poured over the top. The contrast of hot and cold is the whole point. Thick toast is for scooping.

Ingredients

For 2 plates.

Garlic yogurt

1 1/4 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 small clove garlic, grated
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Eggs

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Method

Stir the yogurt, garlic and salt together and spread it on two plates.

Tips

Take the yogurt out of the fridge first so it's cool rather than cold.
A splash of vinegar in the poaching water helps the whites hold together.
