Turkish eggs with yogurt, sage, and chili
Turkish eggs are very stylish in the meantime and are visible on many menus. This dish is an abnormal aggregate of textures, but they work together so nicely that this could become your new favorite!

1 garlic clove, overwhelmed to a paste
350g thick Greek-style yogurt
75g butter
1 dessert spoon white wine vinegar
4 eggs
1 tsp chili flakes
Method
Begin via making the caramelized brown butter (that is widely used in Turkish cuisine). Melt the butter over the bottom warm in a small saucepan. The butter will separate because it melts but doesn’t fear; because it continues to cook, the white parts will turn golden brown. This will supply the butter with a remarkable nutty, caramelized aroma. But do watch it as you don’t want it to get too darkish. Remove and set apart.
Strain the butter slowly as you need to dispose of some of the darkish bits, so you are left with clean brown butter.
Add the sage leaves and fry lightly inside the butter till crisp. Remove the sage leaves and drain on kitchen paper.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil over excessive heat. Add the vinegar to the water.
Mix the crushed garlic with the yogurt and season lightly with a little salt.

Warm the butter and spoon over the eggs and yogurt, add the crisp sage leaves, and sprinkle over the chili flakes.
