Ingredients

2 slices bread
2 large eggs

For the Yogurt

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic halved, 1 large clove or 2 small

For the Butter Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon dried mint
cilantro chopped, optional, for serving

Instructions

Toast the Bread

Toast the bread. I do mine in the air fryer, so I drizzle with oil and then air fry for about 4-5 minutes at 400℉ (200℃). If using a toaster, toast and then butter the bread or drizzle with olive oil.
Once the bread is toasted, rub half of a garlic clove on the slices while they are still warm. Set aside.

Make the Yogurt Sauce

Mince the other half of the garlic clove and mix with the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make the Butter Sauce

Heat the butter and oil in a small saucepan. Once it sizzles add the spices and remove from heat. Set aside.

Fry the eggs

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil. Crack the eggs in the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook for another 20 seconds for over easy/medium.

Serve

Spread the yogurt evenly between the slices of toast. Top each with a fried eggs and a heavy drizzle of the spiced butter. Top with fresh cilantro if using and serve.

Notes

Cook the eggs to your preference whether that's fried or poached.

Start with a smaller amount of red pepper flakes if you’re not sure about the spice level. You can always add more to taste.

The garlic is pungent in this recipe, and it's supposed to be. If you're not a fan, use less. Grated garlic has a strong flavor.

This dish is best served fresh, so once everything is ready, put it all together and serve right away.

You can make the garlic yogurt and store it in the fridge for about 3 days. You can also make the spiced butter in advance and then gently reheat it when needed.
