    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Preparing the Tzatziki Breakfast Bowl with Eggs is a rewarding process that doesn’t take much time. Follow these steps to create a delightful breakfast experience:

1. Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. Prepare the Cucumber: Grate the cucumber using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
  3. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Poach the Eggs

  1. Boil Water: Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
  2. Create a Vortex: Using a spoon, stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool.
  3. Poach Eggs: Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water, one at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  4. Remove Eggs: Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs from the water. Place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.

3. Assemble the Breakfast Bowl

  1. Prepare Veggies: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the spinach or arugula until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Divide the tzatziki sauce among four bowls. Top with sautéed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion.
  3. Add Eggs: Gently place the poached eggs on top of each bowl.
  4. Garnish: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh dill, and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
