Gather @greek yogurt{300%g}, @sweet paprika{1%tsp}, @red pepper flakes{0.5%tsp} and @white vinegar{1%tbsp}.

Stir the grated @garlic{2%clove} and a pinch of @salt{} into the yogurt and let it sit at room temperature while you cook the eggs.

Bring a wide pot of water to a bare simmer and add the vinegar.

Crack each @egg{4} into a cup, swirl the water into a gentle whirlpool, and slide the eggs in one at a time; poach 3 minutes for a runny yolk. ~{3%minutes}

Spread the garlic yogurt over two plates and lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon on top.

Melt the @butter{40%g} in a small pan until foaming, stir in the paprika and pepper flakes off the heat, and pour it hissing over the eggs.

Serve immediately with crusty bread to mop the plate.
