Poached eggs with delicious lemony buttery sauce in just 10 minutes
Sumac is a spice made from the dried and ground berries of the wild sumac bush. Its tangy, lemony flavour is used to enhance a variety of dishes, from meat and vegetables to dips and salads in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Mixed with butter and poured over eggs, it creates a velvety, creamy texture and an addictively tangy bite.
Why you should make Poached Eggs in Sumac Chilli Butter
This dish is a delicious twist on traditional poached eggs and is absolutely perfect with flatbreads to mop up the tangy sumac and chilli butter. The quick preparation and vibrant flavours make it a fantastic weekend breakfast or brunch option. If you’re looking for an even faster version, fry eggs in a generous amount of butter and add sumac directly into the pan along with an additional sprinkle on top once plated.

Poached Eggs in Sumac Chilli Butter
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 garlic clove minced
- 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1 tsp sumac
- Flatbreads for serving homemade flatbread recipe here
Instructions
- To make the poached eggs: Fill a large saucepan with water and add salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat until the water barely moves. Break the eggs individually into 2 ramekins or small bowls, then lower as close to the surface of the water as possible and drop the eggs in quickly. Poach for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are firm. The centre should still be runny.
- Place the butter, garlic, chilli flakes and sumac in a saucepan. Heat gently until the butter is melted and clear (it should not be creamy). The sumac will separate and look like dark flakes).
- Transfer poached eggs to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over sumac butter. Serve with pita bread, sourdough or homemade flatbreads (recipe below in notes).
