Print pin

Ingredients

The green sauce:

  • 1 serano or jalapeño pepper
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/4 cup green olives. Pitted
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp minced shallot
  • Juice from about 1 lime.
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper

The rest:

  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Bread of choice
  • Olive oil
  • 3 eggs

Instructions 

  • Finally chop all the ingredients for the green sauce. Add to a mortar and pestle, followed by olive oil and lime juice. Season to taste.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, crack an egg into a small bowl so it will be easier to add to the pot. Stir the water into a whirlpool and drop your egg into the middle of the vortex. Reduce water to low and keep stirring the water so the eggs stays in whirl. After 3 min remove with a slotted spoon.
  • You can do regular chili crisp, but I like melting a little butter into mine. If you want to do that, simply melt butter into a pan with some chili crisp for a min or so in a pan until melted and combined.
  • Add yogurt to a shallow bowl and coat the whole bottom with it. Add eggs, followed by green and red sauce. Coat a slice of bread in olive oil and cook in a pan for 2-3 min per side. Serve by dipping the bread in the yogurt and eggs, getting lots of sauce in your bite. Enjoy!
