Ingredients
4 large eggs
4 thick slices sourdough bread
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonade
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, carefully add the eggs, and cook for 6-7 minutes for a jammy yolk consistency.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath, then peel and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, chives, basil, and lemon zest.
Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and spread with butter.
Spread a generous layer of the herby yogurt mixture onto each toast.
Place one egg on each slice of toast and use a fork to gently smash them.
Season with salt and cracked black pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
For the perfect jammy yolk, use a timer exactly for 6.5 minutes.
You can substitute the herbs with whatever fresh greens are available, such as parsley or mint.
Store the yogurt mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
