Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 cup whole milk yogurt, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then mix until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly, and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: While eggs cook, sprinkle 1 tsp smoked paprika and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes into the hot oil, swirling the pan to infuse the oil and slightly toast the spices until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4: Remove eggs carefully with a spatula and plate them over a thick layer of the herbed yogurt.
Step 5: Drizzle the spiced olive oil over the eggs and yogurt to finish. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread.
