Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp harissa paste, stirring until smooth; set aside to let flavors meld.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 4 merguez sausage links and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through; transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Add 2 pieces of Moroccan M’smen flatbread and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
4. Step 4: In a separate non-stick pan, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack 2 large eggs and cook sunny-side-up for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny; season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Step 5: To serve, place the pan-fried M’smen on plates, spoon dollops of harissa yogurt over the bread, arrange the merguez sausages alongside, and top with the sunny-side-up eggs.
