Turkish Eggs + Crispy Pita Chips
Eggs are an every day for me, and today we’re doing them Turkish style. Which basically involves making a garlicky Greek yoghurt base, a little paprika and placing the eggs on top. I’ve paired it with some crispy pita chips (which I make from my favourite gluten-free paleo wraps from No Grainer).
If you’re getting bored of eggs on toast, here’s an interesting way to spice things up!
Also Greek yoghurt is so underrated, I honestly love the stuff, I use it in dressings, soups, salads and cooked veggies too.
I always say one of the only ways to stick to healthy food and not “give in” to junk is to eat food that actually tastes good. And a really common mistake I see is people eating really dry food – wetness is key to delicious food, as gross as that sounds haha. But make sure you’re adding things like olive oil, avocado, tahini dressings, Greek yoghurt, coconut yoghurt, my quick vegan tartare or just anything that will add an element of softness to your dish.
Anyway here is the recipe for my version of Turkish eggs. I actually like to eat this with some grilled broccolini or asparagus (because I’ll always squeeze greens into my meal).
Also this is my fave way to boil eggs, but you can use your fave way, or you can poach them too!
Turkish Eggs + Crispy Pita Chips
Eggs are an every day for me, and today we’re doing them Turkish style. If you’re getting bored of eggs on toast, here’s an interesting way to spice things up!
Serves:
1
Prep time:
15 minutes
Cook time:
10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup Greek yoghurt
- ½ clove garlic, crushed
- 1 gluten-free wrap of choice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil, carefully plunge in the two eggs, reduce the heat slightly to a medium-high heat and leave to boil for 7 minutes (for a semi soft semi hard egg aka jammy egg aka the best kind of boiled egg). After 7 minutes plunge in cold or room temperature water to stop the cooking. Peel.
- Heat a pan and place the wrap on the hot pan to heat through to your liking, either warmed or crispy. Remove from the heat and cut into triangles.
- In a small bowl, stir the garlic into the yoghurt with a big pinch of salt. Spread on to a plate.
- Top with the boiled eggs, a generous sprinkle of smoked paprika, olive oil and fresh parsley. Sprinkle over salt and pepper. Serve with warmed pita chips and enjoy!
Notes
- Dairy free version: Swap greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt.
