  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 large slices country bread or sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with about 5 inches of water and bring it to a rolling boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water.
  2. Lower the eggs carefully into the boiling water and cook for 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath and let them cool for about 2 minutes. Peel gently.
  4. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped basil, dill, and chives.
  5. Add Greek yogurt, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast two slices of bread until golden on both sides.
  7. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
  8. Spread a generous layer of the herby lemon yogurt mixture over each slice of toast.
  9. Place two soft-boiled eggs on each toast and gently smash them with the back of a spoon.
  10. Season with additional salt and black pepper and garnish with extra herbs.
  11. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to support the toppings without becoming soggy.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor and brightness.
  • An ice bath stops the eggs from overcooking and keeps the yolks creamy.
  • Prepare the yogurt mixture ahead of time for quicker assembly.
  • Add avocado, feta, or chili flakes for additional flavor variations.
