Turkish Eggs with Dill Labneh
Dill Labneh
Line a large bowl with the damp cheesecloth; pour the yoghurt into it, then gather and tie it tightly with string. Hang or place the bundle into a sieve over the bowl to drain the whey liquid. Leave to hang for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
Tip the strained yoghurt into a medium-sized bowl, add the garlic, dill and season with salt.
Spicy Drizzle & Eggs
Melt the Flora Regular in a small pot over medium heat. Add the chilli flakes and smoked paprika and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until fragrant.
Fill a large pot three-quarters full with water and bring to a gentle simmer.. Add the vinegar and then gently break the eggs into the water. Poach the eggs for about 6 minutes for the perfect runny centre.
To Serve
To plate, spoon a generous few dollops of labneh into a dish and spread it out with the back of a spoon. Place the poached eggs in the centre of the plate, and then drizzle the spice-infused Flora Regular over. Garnish with a few sprigs of fresh dill, a sprinkle of lemon zest and micro greens if using. Finish with a crack of black pepper and Serve with toasted baguette slices and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
