Ingredients

  • 100g Ricotta

  • 200g Greek yoghurt

  • small handful of wild garlic, finely chopped

  • ½ teaspoon of za’atar

  • ½ teaspoon of sumac

  • sea salt

  • black pepper

  • 4 eggs

  • For the butter:

  • 80g butter

  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

  • ½ tsp mild chili powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • 4-5 small leaves of wild garlic, finely chopped

  • sea salt

Method

  1. Whip together the Ricotta, yoghurt, wild garlic, za’atar, sumac, sea salt and black pepper in a bowl and set aside. If it is too stiff, stir in a little good quality olive oil.

  2. Boil the eggs until soft or jammy but not too soft to peel. Alternatively, you could of course poach them.

  3. In a small pan, melt the butter over a medium-high heat and cook until it starts to get foamy and turn brown.

  4. Add the olive oil, spices and half the wild garlic and cook for a further minute. Take off the heat and set aside.

  5. Assemble by dividing the Ricotta/yoghurt mixture between two bowls, cut the eggs in half, season and place on top and finally drizzle the brown butter on top.

  6. Garnish with the reserved wild garlic, a pinch of za’atar, sumac and black pepper.
