Description

These Smashed Egg Toasts with Herby Lemon Yogurt are a bright and flavorful twist on classic breakfast toast. With jammy eggs, a zesty Greek yogurt spread infused with fresh herbs, and crispy golden sourdough, this is one of those quick high protein meals that feels indulgent but is actually super nourishing. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or light dinner, this recipe is loaded with protein, healthy fats, and bold flavors.


Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 medium lemon (zested and juiced)

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling

  • 4 large slices country or sourdough bread (about 1-inch thick)

ย 

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided


Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with about 5 inches of water and bring to a rolling boil; prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Lower the heat to a rapid simmer and gently add the eggs one at a time.

  • Boil for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Transfer eggs to the ice bath and chill for 2 minutes. Peel under running water and set aside.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, basil, dill, chives, Greek yogurt, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  • Slice the bread and melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast 2 slices at a time until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bread and butter.

  • Spread herby yogurt on each toast. Top each with 2 eggs and gently smash them with the back of a spoon.

ย 

  • Finish with extra salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.


Notes

  • You can make the yogurt spread ahead of time and store it in the fridge for 2โ€“3 days.

  • Feel free to swap herbs based on your preferenceโ€”parsley or mint would be delicious too.

  • For a gluten-free option, use your favorite GF bread.
