Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch salt, pepper
- green onion, diced
Instructions
- Bring about 3" water to boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer. Do NOT swirl the water before adding the egg.
- Set a mesh sieve in sink or over a bowl, and crack 1 egg into sieve. Allow egg to drain for a few seconds, and then carefully pour egg into the water. Repeat for each egg. Cooking Tip: Keep in mind that you are not separating the egg yolk from the egg white while straining. When straining, simply watch for a portion of the egg white to slip through the sieve. Once it stops straining, you can move on to the next step.Mesh Sieve Tip: If you're using s super-fine mesh sieve or a nylon sieve, the egg will take about 2-3 minutes to drain. A standard mesh sieve will only take a few seconds.
- Simmer eggs 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon. Set eggs on a paper towel to get rid of excess water.
- To prepare sauce, add all remaining ingredients into a small bowl and mix together.
- Serve eggs hot with the sauce.
